peer agreement (net): +3frescoes with a patina of time/age Explanation: I can't recall ever seeing "patinated frescoes" and there are only 5 Ghits (all relating to the same church. It makes it seem like the frescoes were delinberately patinated which I assume is not the case here. I think this is more commonly described as a patina of time or age, or marked/characterised by a patina of time/age or even weathered by a patina...in some cases the patina usually caused by the darkening of varnish which clouds the original colours underneath... or here "the mixture of glue, soot, dust and incense..." https://books.google.ie/books?id=EHk4DgAAQBAJ&pg=PT46&lpg=PT... https://books.google.ie/books?id=hzZ-M3UeBRQC&pg=PT4&lpg=PT4... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 19 hrs (2018-02-10 11:21:40 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Glad to have helped |
