	Chestnut Street Theatre: Note on Apotheoses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		In the Middle Ages, the apotheosis served to introduce such biblical figures as the Angel of the Annunciation, while in Renaissance Europe apotheoses were common fare in operas and court entertainments, typically to introduce gods and goddesses to the scene, or to display spectacular scenes of other-worldliness.
		See, for example, Giacomo Torelli's settings for Il Bellerofonte, published in Per Bjurstrom's Giacomo Torelli and Baroque Stage Design (1962,) and Inigo Jones' drawings and plans for an elaborate apotheosis in Salmacida Spolia, the last court masque before the interregnum.
