30 Artistic Ceilings From Around the World |
|
Lying in bed would be an
altogether perfect and supreme experience if only one had a colored
pencil long enough to draw on the ceiling.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Ceilings are the closest mankind has
come to imitating the natural dome of the world - the skies. We look up
wanting to see beauty above us, unattained and etheral, yet soothing and
wondrous. These ceilings from all over the world make me want to visit
these places, so I can gaze in captivated amazement and the artful ideas
expressed there. These are truly inspired.
