Our Lady Of Gargilesse: Crypt Frescoes

The crypt in this church, unusually large, was the knock-out, covered as it was with frescoes said to be 13th century. Maybe earlier, I thought. Interestingly, these paintings were very reminiscent to us of some we saw just across the Pyrenees, in Spain, those of the Boi Valley. (2nd Boi Valley post here). In Spain, these paintings were thought to be of sufficient importance as to get their own hall in the national Catalonian museum in Barcelona...

Steps leading to the crypt

Apart from a large hall, the crypt had three small chapels at its
east end; this is the port one

And this the starboard

Remains of a crucifixion scene

Extreme flossing; see Revelation 19:15; over the central chapel;
a depiction we've seen but rarely

Central chapel, with Madonna sculpture said to have been brought
from the Holy Land

Closer up

Still closer up

Ditto

We three kings of Orient are; and cart before horses

Resurrection cheers

Smiting the beast

Main hall

Expulsion; and time for us to head on to Bourges...
