Rackham Pythia Diorama

After my initial post about the "Golden Age of Dioramas" (circa 2004-2005), I have been searching for colletcions of photos.  There are several dioramas which are well documented, much like the Khalida diorama.

For some reason, I have not been able to find some pictures of my favorite works.  This is a bit of a bummer, but at least these smaller images give you an idea of what they were like.

This was done back in 2004, using a Rackham miniature as a centerpiece.  My favorite bit was painting the tiny mural behind her!  It was actually recessed inward, as a half dome extended down to the floor.

It created the same sort of optical illusions found in places like the Sistine Chapel, since those angles would make certain parts of the painted lady seem out of proportion.
