The Grand Reception Hall : Ceiling Murals



The Grand Reception Hall..
Beautiful murals on the ceiling of the Grand Reception Hall..
One would except more information on these..
But I couldn't find any, which is disappointing.
Although there is good enough materials detailing the allegorical murals on the walls of the Grand Reception Hall, as shown in the previous post, click here.... But nothing about the murals on the ceiling.

I am working on details of the ceiling murals - they are also by Eugene Savage and depict the "Feast on Mount Olympus"
