Interior of domes, Pazzi Chapel

The fresco in the smaller dome at left, over the altar, represents the sky in Florence on July 4, 1442 according to astronomers. Together the dome interiors, medallions, and arches, form a complex of circular and angular shapes. Attending to what is going on in the ceiling, it is not clear where the eye must rest.
