The Voynich Ninja

I think it must be a comparison to one of the nymphs in pools drawings of q13. Sometimes these pools have cliff-like shores with vertical lines, just like in the painting. In that regard, it's really not a bad comparison.

Hi Koen, I can't see those cliffs in what is left of the painting (maybe I am looking at the wrong painting). Could you please add an arrow to the image?

Hi Marco, sorry I could not upload an image before, I would have but I was posting from my phone. Anyway, what I would see as similar to Q13 is the things pointed out by the arrows. I'm not too sure about any of this though, even in nablator's bigger version it's hard to see what's going on in the painting.

Thank you, Koen. I guess the fresco is showing a stylized rocky background: some early Renaissance art simplified 3D shapes that way. That bathing (?) queen also has some of a Voynich vibe. I wonder what the scene illustrates? Women and spheres (one also in the hand of the man on the right) could suggest the judgment of Paris. A crowned Venus or Juno is not unusual, but the gestures of the characters do not seem to fit the scene.

Now that you mention it, there is a scene on You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that previously gave me Judgement of Paris vibes. In my opinion, it appears as if a sinister nymph behind the other one introduces a spherical object into a group of onlookers. (I can only see the arms as an extremely bad attempt to lengthen the arm of the figure in the back, passing behind the one in front).

Paris or not, maybe it's You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view. that has the most in common with the painting. You've got several nude figures standing in front of "cliffs" and someone holding a spherical object. Many other things are different of course.
