Abstract
The movement of separation from Byzantium which we observed in the previous chapter developed during the 12th century and acquired definite new forms, some of which seem to be a revival of the antique, but their persistence during the 11th century was hardly to be noted. However, the series of paintings in S. Urbano alla Caffarella has by some students been considered a late form of catacomb art. Personally I do not find many arguments in support of this hypothesis, but am rather of the opinion that some of these not exactly datable works of the great decadence, generally attributed to the 10th century, are really products of the 11th : as, for example, those we found at Assisi; but no development of style enables us to make any definite statement as to the chronology of these paintings.
