The Ceiling

of the Raphael Loggias at the amazing Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia
I took a number of vertical images to show the ceilings in different rooms - and to get over the heads of the many visitors - here is just one ...

    The people are also very numerous
    on all these ceilings. And it seems they
    like to entertain their visitors.
    Amazing Show.
    Gruss - A.

    Eine unglaubliche Vielfalt bietet diese Deckengestaltung und die Zeit wird kaum ausgereicht haben, diese Vielfalt zu genießen. Gut, daß es die Fotografie gibt, um die Gestaltung zu Hause weiter zu auszukosten.

    wow, so much to see in those vaults!! mostly bible scenes, i assume? and i guess raphael's copyright had long since expired, when catherine II ordered his art to be copied for display in her amazing hermitage gallery! ; )) beautifully and expertly captured once again, dear adele! amazing, how you succeeded in including such a loong passage of the ceiling in your image!! hugs, sabine.

    impressive, I love the way the arches follow one another showing the expanse of the hall/passage and your exposure is perfect,cathy
