Fresco in the 12th C. Byzantine Church of St. Jason and St. Sosipater, Corfu
The church was once extensively decorated with frescos but these were plastered over and white-washed in 1820, a process which largely destroyed the painting. The white marks are the recessions which allowed the plaster to 'key' into the wall.
