More Churches in Gravedona, Italy

One of the wonderful things about Italy is that even very small towns often have some really marvelous artistic treasures. As a follow up to a post on Wednesday, we continue with Nicola’s photos from the little town of Gravedona on the lake of Como, with the churches of Santa Maria delle Grazie and San Vincenzo. The former preserves a good amount of fresco work which can be dated from 1509 to roughly 1520; although the names of the families who commissioned them are included in several of the paintings, the artists are unknown.Lamentation over the Dead ChristA painted Crucifix
