Baroque Nightmares

The Sagredo Bedroom is one of the few places in the Metropolitan Museum of Art that I would label as truly "scary." It's tucked away in a small hallway that receives fairly little foot-traffic, and it's very dark so that when you come across it, it looks like the cherubs are going to swarm and attack.

I tried to convey some of sense of forboding, changing it to black and white and adding a few layers of texture in Photoshop.

For a more "traditional" view of the room and its historical context:
