## Commentary

Raphael&#39;s solution for ceiling decoration, stretching a velarium, or awning, across the illusive opening in the ceiling and using it as an autonomous support for the painting, found widespread application. Analogous solutions are found in later works, such as in the Villa Imperiale. The picture shows the ceiling panel of the Camera delle Cariatidi in the Villa Imperiale.
