Romanesque Frescoes Between Church Windows

The Romanesque wall paintings depict several human figures gathered in painted panels around the two windows. The figures appear with distinct garments, faces, and gestures, while the light limewash background unifies the motif. The decoration is part of the church's extensive medieval visual world.

The windows interrupt the sequence of images and allow daylight to fall directly between the painted figures.
