This is the ceiling of a church dedicated to the founder of the Jesuits, Ignatius Loyola. The painter was Andrea Pozzo in the late seventeenth century. Have a look at how he cleverly made the painting look three-dimensional when it is on a flat surface. As with many ecclesiastical buildings in Rome, the decoration is sumptuous and money was obviousy no object.

This section of the ceiling has fewer snakes and more of the usual scenes of the underworld. Esna temple. Esna, Egypt.

Wonderful texture of lozenges which, because the ceiling is curved, seem to float and merge.

Beautiful view of the ceiling inside Borujerdi House, situated in Kashan, Isfahan province of Iran.

The Borujedri historial house was built in 1857 by architect Ustad Ali Maryam, for the wife of Seyyed Mehdi Borujerdi, a wealthy merchant. The wife came from the affluent Tabatabaei family, which Seyyed Mehdi fall in love with her and built this house for her.

It consists of a rectangular beautiful courtyard, delightful wall paintings by the royal painter Sani ol molk, and three 40 meter tall wind towers which help cool the house to unusually cool temperatures. It has 3 entrances, and all the classic signatures of traditional Persian residential architecture, such as a biruni yard (exterior yard) and a daruni yard (andarun) (interior yard). The house took eighteen years to build using 150 craftsmen.
