Part of the chapel ceiling at Frederiksborg Castle north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The past was more than just white, the 16th and 17th centuries liked pastels.
Gorgeous ceiling from the mid-seventeenth century in Le Louvre in Paris. It crowns Louis XIV’s chambre à alcôve.
I have not yet really researched the significance if the motifs, but the captives placed to the left and right are a typical reference to military victory.
Executed 1668-78.
I’m so happy that I get to continue my studies. One of the perks of it now being as a PhD student is that I get space for books in a shared office on campus. 10 months left before the big deadline! 🤞
