Astrological aspects on a painting

Besides the plaques showing the zodiac signs, I also came across another painting with an astrological association:

Can you see it? Let take a closer look:

I have a picture of the Astronomy "clock" in the Cathedral of Lund Sweden. I have seen more paints in other Cathedrals in Italy. I Wish u a good day take care bye

  3. Thank u for the quick answer. I talked to a old lady from Germany last week and in the conversation she mentioned something about the city of Cologne...just a coincidence...anyway my father send me a letter a long time ago in which it was a postcard, I´ll publish it on my blog "aspects", of a painting in the Cathedral of Monreale...My thoughts were that there´s a truth in the sky, solarsystem, planets and so on...feel free to interpret!
