Five-part Ceiling Decoration Great Hall Soestdijk Palace
Five-part Ceiling Decoration for the Great Hall of Soestdijk Palace, Ceiling painting in five parts with Diana and her companions as main performance, painted in front of the great room of Soestdijk Palace. After restoration in 1983, the round central part did not appear to belong to the original ceiling painting or to De Lairesse. The four corner elements contain illusionistic architectural elements and reliefs, between which the women with attributes of hunting and putti are located. The inner ring with a classical relief with hunting scenes and an offering scene to Diana is worn by caryatids.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent five-part ceiling decoration that adorns the Great Hall of Soestdijk Palace. Painted by Gerard de Lairesse between 1676 and 1682, this masterpiece depicts Diana, the goddess of hunting, along with her companions as the main performers. The restoration in 1983 revealed an interesting discovery - the round central part did not seem to belong to the original painting or De Lairesse himself. The four corner elements of this grand composition feature illusionistic architectural elements and reliefs, creating a sense of depth and dimension. Nestled between these architectural marvels are women adorned with attributes of hunting and playful putti. The inner ring boasts a classical relief depicting scenes from hunting and an offering made to Diana, supported by caryatids. Measuring an impressive height of 800 cm by width 600 cm for the main section, while each corner element measures approximately h 400 cm x w 300 cm x d 280 cm; this artwork truly commands attention within its space. Painted on canvas using oil paint technique, it exudes a timeless beauty that has captivated viewers for centuries. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable print capturing every intricate detail of this stunning ceiling painting at Soestdijk Palace's Great Hall. It serves as a testament to De Lairesse's artistic prowess and his ability to create awe-inspiring masterpieces that transcend time itself.
