21 24 Fossati patterns in the apse Visible here are the whitewash and painted plaster applied by the Fossatis over the figural mosaic in the central area of the apse conch, the Virgin enthroned with Christ child (Fig. 49). The upper sections of the apse were covered with a fine layer of plaster and ornamental bands, while the background between the bands is painted with Fossati patterns imitating gold tesserae, similar to their restorations in other areas of the building.
