Chapter 12

[19] My authority on these frescos is Charles I. Hemans, who states (page 70 of Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art) that "conjecture has assumed antiquity as high as the first century" for some paintings in the catacombs of S. Praxedes, but does not mention whether these are of the number.

Van Dyke, in his Christ-child in Art (page 120), describes an interesting third century fresco in the catacomb of SS. Marcellinus and Peter, representing the Adoration of the Magi.

[20] The mosaics at Santa Maria Maggiore are assigned to the fifth century; those at S. Apollinare Nuova, Ravenna, to the sixth century. See Hemans, Ancient Christianity and Sacred Art.

For further descriptions of the mosaics at Capua and at Santa Maria in Trastevere, Rome, see Mrs. Jameson's Legends of the Madonna. For an engraving of the Virgin and Child in the Ravenna mosaic, see Van Dyke's Christ-child in Art.
