About this work

Ceiling painting in the dome vault of the Chapelle de Seaux: Christ, carried by angels after his Ascension, sending the Holy Spirit to earth. He sits on a cloud and is surrounded, along the edge of the round ceiling, by countless music-making angels on a balustrade. In the margin a Bible quote from Isa. 45:22 and an explanation of the representation in French.
