The central octagonal panel depicts a figure, a saint, ascending towards the heavens, surrounded by cherubs and clouds. Four larger rectangular panels radiate outwards, each featuring dynamic scenes with draped figures in classical attire, rendered in warm earth tones and vibrant blues.The stucco elements are highly detailed, incorporating floral motifs, putti, scrolls, and architectural forms, all painted in a light, almost monochromatic palette that contrasts with the colorful frescoes.

The Ektachrome film stock renders the colors with a rich, slightly warm cast, highlighting the golden hues and deep reds in the paintings. The slide exhibits good sharpness and detail, capturing the intricate artistry of the ceiling.There is a minor scratch visible in the upper left quadrant of the image. SKU: A3-5-10
