sotto in sù, di (It.: ‘from below upwards’). Term applied to an extreme form of
illusionistic foreshortening in which figures or objects painted on a ceiling appear to be floating or suspended in space above the viewer.
Mantegna's Camera degli Sposi in the Ducal Palace in Mantua is the first major example, and
Correggio was a noted exponent, but the device is associated particularly with
Baroque decoration.
