Barberini Palace, again

This evening I went to the Barberini palace, (to the museum, not to sleep over.) There was much to see, and it all pleased me exceedingly, especially the Caravaggios. Above all else, however, was Pietro da Cortona’s ceiling. I have never had the privilege to look up at something so remarkable. I don’t think there is a better ceiling fresco in all of Rome, the Sistine chapel excluded since it is something so unique it cannot be compared to anything else.
