Church Architecture and Decoration in Christian Art

Works of Christian art that are themselves part of a building or its permanent decoration, a fresco cycle, ceiling, mosaic, stained glass window or standing monument, rather than a portable panel or narrative painting. Includes the Scrovegni Chapel frescoes, the Sistine Chapel ceiling, Raphael's Disputation of the Holy Sacrament in the Stanza della Segnatura, the Justinian mosaic of the Basilica of San Vitale, the interior of Saint Peter's in Rome, the Diman ceiling frescoes, the Gosforth Cross, and a stained glass window depicting the harvest at Independence Temple.
