Finished drawings for a ceiling for the music room, 1765, executed with minor alterations (2)

Harris notes that this ceiling was inspired by a vault in the Palace of Augustus in Rome, and that the carpet echoes the ceiling. Both survive although the arabesques in the corners of the ceiling design were not executed.

There are ten medallions painted by Antonio Zucchi depicting Minerva and the nine muses from Ovid, and with Midas judging the musical contest between Apollo and Pan in the centre.
