Ornamentale plafondschildering met in de hoeken voorstellingen van putti 1695 - 1755

This decorative ceiling painting, created by Dutch artist Elias van Nijmegen between 1695 and 1755, features a central medallion surrounded by a swirling, baroque design. The corners of the work showcase putti, or chubby, winged cherubs, often depicted in playful or amorous scenes. This intricate pattern, characterized by a combination of gold and muted colors, was typical of ceiling decorations during the Baroque period, showcasing opulence and grandeur. This type of art was common in churches and palaces, adding a touch of the divine and the whimsical to the spaces they adorned.
