# Cupola vault [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [DOMENICHINO]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Fresco ## Commentary The centre of the chancel is topped by a small oval cupola. The virtuoso decor of this cupola is not stucco work but pure painting. The four evangelists are depicted in the cupola pendentives, and above them in oval panels appear three early Christian female martyrs \(Sts Agnes, Cecilia, and Francesca Romana\). In the cupola's centre panel God the Father appears enthroned on clouds and flanked by angels. ## Related artworks - [A Triumphal Arch of Allegories]() - [Adam and Eve]() - [Allegory of Agriculture, Astronomy and Architecture]() - [Apse calotte and antechoir vault]() - [Caritas]() - [Death of St Cecilia]() - [Diana and her Nymphs \(detail\)]() - [Diana and her Nymphs \(detail\)]() - [Diana and her Nymphs]() - [Doctors and Fathers of the Church]() - [Doctors and Fathers of the Church]() - [Doctors and Fathers of the Church]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
