About the artwork

I discovered this religious ceiling painting of human figures in the dome of Noto Cathedral on the island of Sicily during my Easter photography trip. The photo was taken on 25 April 2012 with the NIKON D90 camera (lens: NIKKOR 80.0-200.0 mm f/2.8).

The Noto Cathedral is enthroned on a grand staircase in the centre of Noto and is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of Sicilian Baroque architecture.
This magnificent building fascinates visitors with its imposing façade, intricate details and harmonious proportions.
The impressive interior of the cathedral, adorned with ornate decorations and breathtaking frescoes, offers an insight into the artistic and cultural heritage of the region.
The Noto Cathedral is not only an architectural marvel, but also a symbol of the city's rich history and resilience. Despite earthquake damage and damage over time, the cathedral has been carefully restored, preserving its original splendour.
This monument is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and features a stunning façade with intricate carvings and sculptures. The façade is divided into three sections, with the centre section featuring a large rose window and the two side sections featuring statues of saints and other religious figures.
The interior of the cathedral is equally impressive, with a large central nave flanked by side chapels. The cathedral is adorned with beautiful frescoes, paintings and sculptures, including works by some of the most famous Baroque artists.
One of the highlights of the cathedral is the large dome, which is supported by four columns and decorated with frescoes of saints and angels. The dome is considered one of the most beautiful in Italy and offers visitors a breathtaking view of the interior of the cathedral.
