[3] Various theories on the age of the frescoes have been presented taking into account stylistic trends of the tenth through the twelfth centuries AD and renovations that took place on the church during those time periods as well.

[1] Due to the fresco's age, it is probable that the Southern apse from Pedret is one of the oldest of all Catalan Romanesque wall paintings.

Taken together they present an important apocalyptic series in which the subject of the Church is related to the coming of the Day of Judgement in a way that is not frequent, centering on the parable of the wise and foolish Virgins in the southern apsidiole.

Originally, all five Wise Virgins were depicted seated at the marriage supper with burning cressets in their left hands.

Beneath the virgins is a pattern described as “medallions of beasts.”[4] A young figure is also pictured sitting upon a church with the head encircled by a nimbus (halo).

[5] Trace figures of the Archangel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary were once reported, but have since faded entirely although the inscription SCA (Sancta) MARIA was recorded.

[3] Stylistically their frescoes are linked to similar Italian artwork and show signs of early Byzantine iconography as well as illusionism.

[1] The parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins found in Pedret is related to earlier religious illustrations such as Coemiterious Maius and the Rossano Gospels.
