Ceiling Fresco, Santa Maria Maddalena, Rome

Posted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 31 May 2008 in Art & Design.

We've been here a few months ago: La Maddalena is dedicated to St Mary Magdelene. It is situated at a very beautiful square I unfortunately failed to photograph adequately (next time!) and Rome's only true Rococo church - we'll get the chance to have a closer look at its beauty in our next visit. The fresco in the vault shows The raising of Lazarus at the prayer of his sister Mary, I don't know who painted it. My original photo had an almost sepia tone. When I corrected the lighting the true colours were revealed. God, I love image processing!
