This anonymous design for a ceiling, titled "Feast of the Gods", depicts a grand gathering of classical deities and figures in the heavens. The drawing is a preparatory sketch for a larger fresco or mural, and was likely created for a private patron or public building. The artist, working in the style of the Italian Renaissance, has carefully rendered a scene of divine celebration with dynamic figures and swirling clouds, highlighting the opulence and splendor of the classical world. The scene is a reminder of the enduring power of ancient mythology and its influence on Western art.
