They are not paintings but woden inlays! My astonishment, as I visited this chuch the other day, grew more and more as I explored the choir, right behind the altar. In the XVI century, a monk called Giovanni from Verona executed one of the most outstanding inlay work.
Perspectives of buildings and furniture, allegories and charachters, objects and still-life make a rare example of the kind. (his works are also in the sacristy, about which I posted the day before yesterday). Giorgio Vasari included Giovanni da Verona in his "Vite" (Life of the most eminent painters, sculptors and architects).
If you'll ever come to Verona, make sure you visit this beautiful church!

I like the the repetition and the "God like" light coming through! The b&w is nice.

Truly amazing work. I can just imagine how thrilling is to see it in person!
Pazzesco! These wonderful photos reveal this church's incredible treasure. Look at that awesome craftwork. Unbelievable...
That top image truly is lit with a divine glow.
I never would have thought to shoot the choir in black & white. It's wonderful. I agree that this small church is a marvel. So glad you are giving it a wider audience.
