back to photography for today..this is the dome of a church in yorkton saskatchewan.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 them, be painted in a distorted manner so that from floor level they would appear to be on a flat plane. The painting is an original and represents the coronation of the Virgin Mary in heaven. The image stands out brightly and depicts God as â??the Ancient of Daysâ?? (Daniel 7:9) blessing Mary. Jesus is depicted holding a crown over Maryâ??s head and the Holy Spirit is portrayed in the shape of a flying dove. It is the work of the late Stephen Meush, who died of a heart attack while on a fishing trip in Manitoba on June 21, 1951. Mr. Meush received his training in Lviv, Ukraine, and after three years of study in Italy he spent a year in Cracow, Poland, before coming to Canada 1932. He was 36 years of age when he undertook the painting at St. Mary’s Church in September 1939. The task, which included a number of other paintings in the church, was completed in May 1941. taken in 2007
