The calming of the Storm

by Nicolò Circignani

The frescoe is located on the south wall of the Hall of the Meridian inside the Tower of Winds.

Archivum Secretum Vaticanum (which means 'personal papal archive', not 'secret collection of books'').

A Ravensburger ArtCollection jigsaw puzzle, 2012

There's a special detail to be discovered on top of the wall

"The meridian is a straight line made of white marble on the floor, parallel to the North-South direction, whose aim was to measure the altitude of the sun at noon according to the meteorological seasons: the sun ray enters through a hole in the south wall projecting a spot of light on the meridian line."
