Can you imagine painting such a ceiling, whilst lying on your back on some kind of hammock? Remarkable!
The artist was Sir James Thornhill and his fee was Ł978 ~ a fortune in those far-off days!

Excellent overhead photograph the artwork is beautiful Sir James Thornhill very talented. This must be a fairly high ceiling looking at your lens choice. Nice sharp work and perfect placement in the frame. Vote
