Ceiling Decoration 1550 BC

"Ceiling Decoration" is a 1550 BC painting by Charles K. Wilkinson, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting features a geometric design consisting of alternating squares and rhombuses with red, blue, yellow and white accents. The central portion depicts a wooden beam, which contributes to the decorative nature of the composition. The detailed representation of the woodgrain and the stylized patterns suggest the artist's meticulous approach. This work provides insight into the aesthetics of ancient art and serves as a valuable example of geometric design in painting.
