Ceiling at Chicago's PALMER HOUSE Hotel

The ceiling of the Palmer House is one of the finest interiors

to be seen in Chicago.

Bertha Palmer commissioned French-muralist Louis Pierre Rigal who painted the 21 individual paintings on the ceiling in 1926.

 

In 1996, for the hotel’s 125th anniversary,

acclaimed art restorer Lido Lippi restored the Palmer House ceiling art.

He was known as a lead restorer of the Sistine Chapel paintings.
