Carl Simon _______________________________ ^ this is hand colored. It looks like a believable photo apart from the color which looks like it is only painted in transparently over some areas but not others. Both of the Christ pictures, might originate from a similar quality photo but the Getty versions don't look right. The contrast is too high, the color is too saturated, especially that intense yellow and the heavy black outlines and in that yellow background you don't see any wall texture. These things are to the extent it makes it look like a book illustration. I doubt the original photo looked like these do. They may be reproductions from a book rather than the Carl Simon original. If that is the case books can vary greatly in printing quality. You can look at a painting of a Van Gogh in one book and then in a cheaper version the same painting looks terrible and the color is off. Begin by looking at other pictures of the catacomb to get a sense of how the colors should look [/QB][/QUOTE]
