Dome Fresco of the Camera degli Spozi by Andrea Mantegna

On the fresco, located on the arch of a small square room, Mantegna, for the first time in Western European art, created the illusion of space going up to the sky. The hole is surrounded by a parapet, around which are depicted angels looking down, people and animals. This is a bold composition, where the figures are depicted in an unusual perspective. The mural was a model for subsequent generations of artists, especially baroque.
