Christmas -- Image Of God
Guido Reni's famous fresco in Rospigliosi Palace in Rome, Italy, is called The Aurora. Like many paintings of the era it was painted on the ceiling of the palace! As you stand on the floor you have to look up to see it. Unfortunately, you can become dizzy and stiff-necked as the figures become indistinct and hazy. After several complaints the owner of the palace placed a broad mirror near the floor. The reflection of the picture becomes clearer, and you can sit for hours and contemplate the beauty of the work.
