reticolo

Italian to English Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting fresco
Il volto, segnato da grandi e austeri occhi e da rughe frontali, è circondato dal nimbo crocigero (con i bracci decorati da un reticolo), mentre i capelli spartiti e ben divisi sulla fronte e le guance tirate e segnate da una barba tondeggiante, ne accentuano le caratteristiche di “Giudice” severo.

Hi, which do you think is most appropriate - lattice or meshwork? Thanks!

Vanita Ajgarni (asker) Dec 2, 2008:
Hi guys, I have no image or link. I do know that it deals with a fresco depicting "Il Pantocratore", the Pantocrator, All Mighty, All-Powerful, and that this image has been influenced by an aulic protototype, in this case, the mosaic figure of the Pantocrator in the apsidal crown of the Cathedral of Cefalu`. The period is end of 12th century. Thanks!
Mary Carroll Richer LaFlèche Dec 1, 2008:
what period are we talking about?
Angela Arnone Dec 1, 2008:
Vanita, do you have an image of this? Or a link to an image?

crosshatch design

It it's painted, this seems possible.

Maybe "grid pattern" would work.

neutral Mary Carroll Richer LaFlèche : this is used for shading, here the artist has painted some kind of net, but there isn't much context to go on

honeycomb pattern

I'm sticking my neck out here, as there is no image to go on, but as it's a painting I don't think you can call it lattice or mesh, but I do imagine a sort of honeycomb pattern in the arms of the cross.
