I took this last year..but you should see this...its st mary's ukrainian catholic church
this is the dome inside...
a closer view
painted dome..beautiful isn't it?
This is inside the dome of the church . The painting covers the entire dome and has a curvature of over 62 feet. Stephen Meush did the painting and it took him from september of 1939 till May 1941 to complete it. The top of the dome is 55 feet from the floor. The curvature required that the central figures, and the 157 angels and cherubs surrounding htem be painted in a distored manner so that from the floor level they would appear to be on a flat plane.
