Ceiling fresco, Galeria del Ballo, Palazzo Conte
Ceiling fresco of Triumph of Purity among the Virtues over Time, by Gaspare Serenario, 1707-59, in the Galeria del Ballo, or Ballroom, at the Palazzo Conte Federico, a 12th century Arabic Norman palace in Palermo, Sicily, Italy. Being a freemason, Serenario included many masonic symbols in his fresco. The Federico counts bought the palace in the mid 17th century and are responsible for commissioning many of the decorations in place today. Picture by Manuel Cohen
