Firmness and Passion
The fresco was hidden by a thick layer of black, dust and dirt, to be seen from only one very precise point of view, where the Sun could preferencially hit the golden ropes of the two forbidden loving figures - fugitive or elusive, regardless of the Saint holding the baby next to them. A contrast between the elusiveness or mystery of the first and the purity of the second; a contrast between passionality and adventure against composture and solidity.
You can hardly see a hand grabbing one of the lovers: unwillingly parting?
