The Ceiling of the Painted Hall, created between 1707 and 1714, is a monumental work of art by Sir James Thornhill, an English painter of historical subjects. Located in the Painted Hall of the Old Royal Naval College in Greenwich, London, this masterpiece is considered one of the most significant examples of Baroque interior art in England. The Painted Hall, originally intended as a dining room for the Royal Hospital for Seamen, was transformed by Thornhill's ambitious design into a grandiose canvas that celebrates the power and virtues of the newly established Protestant monarchy under William III and Mary II, as well as the peace and prosperity brought by the reigns of Queen Anne and King George I.

Thornhill's ceiling is a tour de force of allegorical painting, covering 4,000 square meters and showcasing a complex iconography that glorifies the political and cultural achievements of the era. The central narrative depicts the triumph of Peace and Liberty over Tyranny, with a series of subsidiary scenes that include figures from classical mythology, personifications of the continents, and portraits of historical figures, all interwoven with maritime and scientific advancements of the time.

The artist was awarded the prestigious commission after a competition and worked on the project for nearly seven years. His efforts were rewarded with a knighthood in 1720, making him the first English painter to receive such an honor. The Ceiling of the Painted Hall stands as a testament to Thornhill's skill and ambition, as well as a reflection of the opulence and grandeur of the early 18th century English court. It remains a key attraction for visitors and an invaluable piece of the United Kingdom's cultural heritage, having undergone several restorations to preserve its splendor for future generations.
