| Summary: | The famous XIIth century ceiling of the Church of St. Martin in Zillis, a small village in the Swiss Alps, in the Val Schons (Schamsertal) on the old road to the Splügen and the San Bernardino, offers a very elaborate series of well-known apocryphal scenes, among the 153 painted wood panels. Its interest lies in the pictorial narrative of the life of Jesus, the main part of the ceiling, an apocryphal piece of art like a Gospel harmony, a coherent and original composition about the figure of Jesus and his adventures in the Gospels, based on several sources. At the same time, the artist used his apocryphal imagination by modifying or adding details to traditional scenes, thus producing different and original episodes like the angel's visit to Mary and to the shepherd. |
