Grand Bathroom

Here my client requested that I paint an interpretation of Andrea Mantegna’s oculus mural of playful cherubs, the original at Ducal Palace in Urbino, Italy-near Padua. This bathroom space had an existing mirrored wall. I decided to paint the ceiling mural as a square and a half image, therefore reflecting as a rectangle when viewed. Placement of the mural over a Jacuzzi lent to the space a bit of whimsy.
