Neapolitan Effigies


The shallow relief carvings of the medieval period are fascinating and aggravating. So much detail, so little time for me to sketch it.

There are too many things to catch the eye in Naples for one to spend more than an hour or so in San Lorenzo Maggiore, so this sketch is woefully incomplete. Both were tomb slabs lying flat on the church floor. I was entranced by the ornamented armour.
