This photograph by Marco Carlotti highlights the monumental high Baroque ceiling frescoes of the Sala di Giove (Room of Jupiter) inside the Palazzo Pitti, Florence.

Painted by Pietro da Cortona between 1642 and 1644, this masterpiece represents the zenith of 17th-century decorative art, merging elaborate, gilded architectural stucco work with dramatic, illusionistic mythological paintings.
