The central canvas, inserted in the vault, is by Tommaso Maria Conca and depicts the Sacrifice of Silenus, as well as the two lateral monochrome (grisaille) frescoes of the Intoxicated Silenus and Silenus returns Bacchus to King Midas. The figures of the bacchantes, satyrs and sileni are distributed in an elaborate architectural quadratura (illusion) by Marchetti.
