I went looking , but couldn't find it,- but I did find the "Hell" at Albi Cathedral.

Thanks for looking, Paul. And great link, some interesting frescoes in there I don't think I'd seen before.

Not referencing Lazarus, I made my own fictional Saint of a similar nature earlier this year...

I like your saints Aeron, -Pestilence, Serpentine and Opium. The textures remind me of the paintings of Ivan Albright.

Thanks, I see what you mean about the textures of Ivan Albright, a bit of that meaty layered folds of flesh.

Thanks for that Aeron, I am happy for people to use my work, but I do like to be identified as the artist, because then when I search my name I find interesting things.
