This magnificent art may be seen on the ceiling of the Church of San Pasquale Baylon,
in Trastevere, Rome, Italy.

Dating back to the 12th Century, the Church was rebuilt in 1486 and restored in 1608, with
more restoration work being done in the 18th Century, when it was dedicated to Pasquale
Baylon (24 May 1540 – 17 May 1592) who was a Spanish friar and is a saint in the Catholic
Church. He is the patron saint of Eucharistic congresses and Eucharistic associations.

I have always enjoyed photography and love the scope that a digital camera allows. I am retired, approaching threescore years and ten. The world around me provides endless photographic opportunities, from the abundance of nature in my own backyard to historic destinations around the world.

    I hadn’t realized heaven was so crowded. But you’re right, Trish, it’s beautiful art, and you’ve captured it brilliantly.

  • Thanks Gary ! Just one big happy family :)
    I’m just a bit disappointed I haven’t yet been able to find the name of the artist.

    It is hard to imagine … I find it difficult enough to paint a ceiling in one colour with a roller !
