Design for a ceiling with a deep cove, showing a corner only is a 1544 by Jacopo Bertoia, a Renaissance work, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This sketch shows a corner of a ceiling with fancy carved details. You see swirls, leaves, and a small oval shape that looks like it could hold a painting or a coat of arms. The lines are light but precise, almost like tracing over a design. The artist focused on the corner’s curves, making the edges look three-dimensional. The empty spaces suggest where other decorations would go. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see more drawings like this.
