View of the ceiling in the Foresteria
1652 · Villa Foscarini Negrelli Rossi, Stra
otherThe faux architecture on the ceiling was executed by Domenico Bruni, the figures by Pietro Liberi. At the centre, a space opens up to a light blue sky, in which, derived from Ripa's Iconologia, Eternity, seated on a celestial sphere, raises up the sun and the moon in her hands. She is surrounded by the winged figure of Fame, holding a trumpet and a laurel wreath, by Glory and Honour, and by Virtue.
