UFO Paintings

Not only are there strange "aerial objects" and "beings" depicted in ancient cave drawings
around the world, there are also strange objects to be found in famous Renaissance artwork.
Some sceptics say that these "aerial objects" are the artists way of interpreting cosmic
objects, like stars or comets. Some say that these objects could also represent divine
beings, like angels.
Prior to the Renaissance Period, art was commissioned by the Catholic Church, which gave
artists strict guidelines on what to paint. The art from that time, was decorative and two-
dimensional, because artists didn't depict people or the world very realistically. However, at
the turn of the 14th century, that soon changed, as Renaissance artists started utilizing new
techniques, like perspective, shadows and started painting realistic objects and people.
A good example of this can be seen in Giotto di Bondone's, "The Lamentation," which is
displayed at Scrovegni Chapel in Padua, Italy. Done in 1305, it shows this new realism, seen
in his realistic portrayal of human anatomy and emotion.
If artists from the Renaissance Period were focusing on accurate, realistic paintings of
objects and people, how can we explain the strange objects seen in the following
Renaissance works of art?
The "Tenture de la Vie de la Vierge" (1330), Unknown Artist. This artwork is located at the
French Basilica Notre-Dame in Beaune, Burgundy. Notice the saucer shape object in the
background?
Painting from the French book," Le Livre Des Bonnes Moeurs" (1338), by Jacques Legrand.
Sphere in the painting resembles a hot-air baloon, but there were no balloons in 14th
century France.
The Crucifixion Of Christ (1350), which hangs above the Visoki Decani Monastery in Kosovo.
This painting shows realistic angels and people, as well as "spacecraft" with pilots in them.
The Miracle Of The Snow (1428-1432), by Masolino da Panicale. This painting commemorates
the foundation of the Santa Maria Maggiore in the center of Rome. Was the artist trying to
depict aerial anomolies that were seen back in 352 AD?
Legend says that between the 4th and the 5th of August of 352, Pope Liberius and Giovanni, a
rich Roman gentleman, dreamed of Mother Mary asking them to build a church devoted to her
on the Esquilino hill, one of the famous Seven Hills of Rome. The virgin also told them that at
the place chosen to build the church it was going to snow. Generally, snow is extremely rare in
Rome, even in the coldest seasons, so the following morning when a rectangle of snow was
discovered on the Esquilino hill during the hottest month of the Roman Summer, it was
regarded as miraculous. People crowded to see the patch of snow, which persisted despite the
heat. As soon as the plot for the building had been staked out, the snow melted, and the first
major church in Rome in honor of Mary was erected in it’s place.
There has been some speculation among “UFOlogists” that this event was actually a
phenomenon of extraterrestrial origin. In fact, this “Miracle of the Snow” is likened to another
event that occurred at 2.30 pm, 27 October 1954: several discs were reported flying in the sky
over Florence, and left in their strange passage "flakes", white and “cotton-like”. The substance
was quick to disintegrate if held in the hand. Nearly sixty years later the case on the Florence
phenomenon remains unresolved. Speculation links these two events, and there are those who
maintain that this is why Masolino’s clouds are not depicted like normal clouds, lacking any
vaporous contours, but are all clearly delineated, almost disc-like in their appearance.

The Annunciation With Saint Emidus (1486), by Carlo Crivelli. This work shows the Virgin
Mary learning she will be giving birth to Jesus Christ. Why not draw a "realistic" angel? This
circular cloud shows a beam of light, like a laser, emitted from beneath it.
The Madonna With Saint Giovannino (late 1400s), most likely painted by Domenico
Ghirlandaio. This painting shows a man, in the background, looking up at an oval, aerial
object. Artists from this time period were drawing realistic angels and celestial objects, so
is this a realistic painting depicting a UFO?
A 17th century fresco from the Svetishoveli Cathedral in Mtskheta, Georgia. The two saucer
shaped objects on either side of Christ contain faces, which can be seen in the detail
image.
The “Israel, Put Your Hope In The Lord” Painting (circa 1600s), Residing now in the Church
of the Dominican Monastery in Sighisoara, Romania. What exactly is that object above the
building, shown in this painting?
Tourists visiting an old church in the Romanian medieval town of Sighisoara will be surprised
to see something that resembles an UFO painted on one of the walls. The strange painting
appears on one of the walls of the 13th century Monastery Church (Biserica Manastirii) located
inside the Medieval Citadel in Sighisoara, Transylvania region.
The church, built in the 13th century, burned down in the 17th century and was then rebuilt.
That is when a series of new paintings appeared in the church, including the one that depicts
the strange object that looks like an UFO.

This painting was done right after the Renaissance Period, in the early 18th century. The
Baptism Of Christ (1710), by Aert de Gelde. This painting clearly shows four beams of light,
being emitted by a circular, aerial object.
