  Mis-captioned - this is the library at Queen's College, Oxford (compare the admittedly tiny image at www.queens.ox.ac.uk/library/ - a Google search will bring up bigger images, but this is the College's website - they can't have got it wrong!) According to Anthony F. Kersting and John Ashdown, The buildings of Oxford (London: Batsford, 1980), p.147 the ceiling represents two phases of work, the primary scheme by James Hands completed in 1695 having been embellished in the rococo style by Thomas Roberts in 1756 (I have added a note to the photo to indicate one of the areas that I think this involved).
