This image captures a section of an ornately decorated vaulted ceiling within the Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière in Lyon, France. The central element is a large circular mosaic depicting the Virgin Mary, seated and robed in white, with a halo, looking upwards. Her throne rests upon a dark, winged, serpent-like creature. Two golden-robed angels flank her, one on each side, facing towards her. Above Mary's head, a white dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit, is depicted. This central mosaic is encircled by a ring of numerous smaller cherubic heads, set against a teal background. Four gilded, three-dimensional winged figures, likely cherubs, are positioned at the cardinal points around the central mosaic. Radiating outwards are four vaulted sections, each containing a large, full-bodied angel in light robes with prominent wings, depicted in flight and oriented towards the center. These sections are adorned with intricate teal and gold floral and geometric patterns. Elaborate borders featuring intertwined scrollwork and gold accents frame the central mosaic and define the architectural sections. The uppermost visible part of the ceiling displays a dense pattern of alternating gold and teal diamond shapes. The dominant colors across the entire composition are teal, gold, white, and various shades of blue and muted reds.
