This image depicts the interior of the Duomo di Parma (Parma Cathedral) in Parma, Italy, focusing on a side altar and the dome above it. In the center, a prominent Baroque-style altar piece is visible, primarily constructed from black and gold marble or painted wood. It features a large, rectangular oil painting depicting a dynamic battle or religious scene with multiple figures, including individuals on horseback, engaged in conflict under a dramatic sky. The painting is framed by two tall, black and gold fluted columns. The altar's upper section is ornately carved with gold scrolling and a central decorative element. Below the main painting, a white, sarcophagus-like structure, flanked by two small white cherubim sculptures, rests on a patterned marble base. Above the altar, a large dome is visible, its interior surface covered by a vibrant fresco. This fresco, identifiable as Correggio's "Assumption of the Virgin," portrays numerous human and angelic figures ascending into a bright, celestial light. The fresco is encircled by a golden and dark decorative border. Flanking the altar and beneath the dome are large, light-colored fluted pilasters. Recessed niches within the architecture house white marble statues of robed figures; the figure on the right holds a circular object. A Greek key pattern frieze runs horizontally below these niches. The lower walls are off-white, with dark wooden doors visible on the far left and right. In the immediate foreground, a patterned marble balustrade is present, behind which a white informational sign on a black stand is positioned. No living individuals are present in the scene.
