The image displays a detailed view of the vaulted ceiling and an upper wall fresco within the Stanza di Eliodoro (Room of Heliodorus) in the Raphael Rooms of the Apostolic Palace, located in Città del Vaticano, Vatican City. The ceiling features elaborate Renaissance frescoes and stucco ornamentation. It is structurally divided by gilded architectural elements into a central circular medallion and four large, roughly triangular panels (pendentives) radiating outwards, separated by smaller decorative segments. The central medallion contains a darker, intricately framed painting. The four main panels depict biblical scenes against a deep blue sky: * The top-left panel illustrates figures engulfed in golden-orange flame-like elements, with one prominent bearded figure reaching upwards, interpreted as *Moses and the Burning Bush*. * The top-right panel shows several figures, some winged, against a blue and brown background, depicting *Noah after the Flood*. * The bottom-left panel features a robed figure holding a weapon above another on an altar, with a winged angel intervening from above, representing the *Sacrifice of Isaac*. * The bottom-right panel displays a sleeping figure with a ladder extending to the sky, populated by ascending and descending angelic figures, depicting *Jacob's Dream*. The decorative elements throughout the ceiling consist of intricate gold leaf, stucco reliefs, and smaller frescoed vignettes. Below the ceiling, an arched fresco, *The Mass at Bolsena*, occupies the upper wall. In this scene, a priest in blue and gold vestments stands centrally at an altar, holding a chalice and host during the consecration. To the left of the altar, a crowd of people, including several figures in white robes kneeling, observe the ceremony. To the right, Pope Julius II, distinguished by his red robes and cap, kneels at an ornate faldstool, looking towards the altar, with other figures in red (cardinals) behind him. The background reveals architectural elements, including columns and arches, and a partial view of a blue sky with white clouds. The overall color palette is rich, dominated by deep blues, vibrant golds, reds, and various earth tones.
