Project for Ceiling Decoration 1500 - 1600

This 16th century drawing, *Project for Ceiling Decoration*, is an anonymous work of art currently held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The drawing depicts a detailed plan for a ceiling, featuring a central dome and surrounding decorative elements. The intricate details and geometric structure, as well as the presence of angels and other figures, provide valuable insights into Renaissance architectural and artistic principles. This type of drawing, often executed in pen and ink, was a common tool used by artists and architects to plan and visualize decorative schemes for interiors.
