The World's Columbian Exposition that was hosted in Chicago in 1893 had an entire city of similarly spectacular, massive-scale buildings in this manner, right in the middle of Chicago. Due to the temporary nature of the event though, many were made of plaster, but were still entirely functional

Photograph of the William I. Koch Gallery within Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. Of particular note are the Velázquez portraits of King Philip IV of Spain and the young Maria Theresa, who would become queen of France. Also present are paintings by Van Dyck, Titian, and Peter Paul Rubens. #photography

But in the ones I posted I think it’s more so thought to be metaphorical as I can’t find any confirmations, at least for the first two. I initially said it because it was a remark in the lecture I watched about the dyck painting

I’m not too sure but my guess would be that the act of Icarus falling after flying too close to the sun is the more iconic association, and then a landscape is the easiest way to capture everything

Closeup of Anthony Van Dyck's 'Self-Portrait as Icarus with Daedalus', one of my favorite paintings within the MFA. Van Dyck painted this at just 19, but the foreshortening (though imperfect), delicate curls, and fingers clasped gently around Daedalus' head already show immense ability.

The room is titled after the large painting which adorns its ceiling, 'The Coronation of Hebe', by the workshop of Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese. Gardner acquired it while the museum palace was already midway through it's construction.

Photograph I took of the Veronese Room within the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. The decorated paneling on the wall is painted leather, an expensive furnishing popular in palaces and, occasionally, locations of worship from the 16th to 18th centuries.
