Art above you
Ceiling painting is artwork created directly on or for a ceiling surface, typically in grand architectural spaces like churches, palaces, or public buildings.
The form often features dramatic perspectives designed to be viewed from below, creating illusions of sky, heaven, or expanded space: The Sistine Chapel ceiling painting took Michelangelo four years to complete.
