A ceiling painting by Tiepolo recreated in the Venetian a grand Vegas hotel

Photographed at , Las Vegas Nevada en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apotheosis www.wga.hu/html_m/v/veronese/08/maggior/1maggior1.html This painting was commissioned by the Venetian government for the ceiling of the Sala del Maggior Consiglio of the Palazzo Ducale. It is one of the thirty five panels on the ceiling. Rising above the bank of clouds, the royally garbed personification of Venice sits enthroned between the twin towers of the city's Arsenal, about to be crowned with laurel by flying victories. Arrayed at her feet and offering her wise counsel are personifications of peace, abundance, fame, happiness, honour, security, and freedom. An especially splendid triumphal arch, fronted by twisting columns, marks the top of an enormous balcony which seems to burst through the ceiling into the ether beyond in order to accommodate the multitudes of celebrating people stipulated in the commission. At the base, Venice's smiling subjects seem undisturbed by the enormous size and energy of careening horsemen in their midst reminder of Venice's considerable military might. Illusionistic foreshortenings and dramatic light effects serve to give political allegory a previously unimagined dynamism and visual excitement.

The flower sets man a gigantic example of insubordination, courage, perseverance and ingenuity - News of Spring, Maurice Maeterlinck, 1862 - 1949

He remembers painting his hands and face blue before suddenly being taken away by the wind and flying in the infinite sky, feeling happy and singing. Even though all dreams disappear with the sunrise, he still dreams of being with his partner, whose blue eyes make him happy. Their voice is like sweet music for him and he feels lucky to be with them.

Food always makes happy, for this reason iNMSOL proposes a very nice saying: Full belly, happy heart (A barriga llena, corazón contento). “Full belly, happy heart.” What does it literally mean? Once we have eaten and satiated our appetite, we feel happy and satisfied.
