20120605s_VaticanCeiling Vatican Museum

Another beautiful ceiling painting, showing two women with cherubs. In the background you can see the Colosseum, the Roman Forum ruins, and St. Peter's. From translating the bits of visible inscription, I think it is saying that the Arts (represented by the two women) have been happily revived under the auspices of the Pope. Or something like that.
