Naturns - St. Prokulus

Naturns - St. Prokulus
I had been in Naturns twice before. The first time was in March, when the chapel and the museum were still closed (winter!), the second time was some years later in May on a monday...


So this time, I could see the frescoes inside the chapel, that is known here since around 650. Some walls of the nave survived, when the church underwent a major reconstruction within the 10th and 11th century.

During the restoration in 1923 early medieval wall (pre-Carolingian) paintings were discovered under plaster and Gothic murals.

Here is a detail.

A absolutely perfect sketch with just a few strokes of the brush.

It's amazing what can be found underneath more recent layers of material!
