Ceiling Scrovegni Chapel Padua

Giotto's Ceiling Fresco Scrovegni Chapel Padua

The ceiling fresco of the Scrovegni Chapel by Giotto is a striking example of celestial iconography, divided into four deep blue barrel-vaulted sections richly adorned with stars and medallions. The dominant background is a deep ultramarine blue, symbolizing the heavens, punctuated by delicate, symmetrical eight-pointed gold stars that evoke the divine realm.
