Ceiling 1514

Raphael’s "Ceiling" is a fresco painted in 1514 in the Vatican's Palazzo Apostolico. This large-scale work exemplifies the High Renaissance style and features a complex composition with multiple scenes and figures. Divided into four sections, each depicts a different biblical event, including the story of "The Sacrifice of Isaac" and "The Vision of Ezekiel." The vibrant colors, harmonious composition, and skillful depiction of human figures, along with the intricate decorative details, showcase the artist's masterful talent. The ceiling is a testament to Raphael's impact on the development of art history and provides an enduring example of Italian Renaissance painting.
