The Newly Discovered Wall Paintings in Saydet el-Rih in Enfeh (Lebanon) through Graphic Survey

Abstract

This paper deciphers the badly damaged and barely discernible wall paintings of Saydet el Rih in Enfeh (Lebanon) using graphic surveys. This procedure consists of copying all traces of the paintings and recording their chromatic values and stratigraphy, in order to understand and visualise the creative process behind them, both stylistically and iconographically.
