About this work

This room looks like a chapel with faded frescoes on the walls. The walls are covered in murals showing groups of people in different scenes, some standing, some kneeling. The floor has a few wooden boards covering parts of the ground, and the space feels empty except for a few benches along the sides. The murals are painted directly onto the walls, a technique called *fresco*. The details are still visible even though the colors have dulled over time. Look up *fresco* to see how artists painted directly onto walls like this.
