The final period of the Golden Age of art is known as the Ouranios Period. The Empyre has enjoyed many long prosperous years as rulers of all and this 150 year period was no exception. Grandeur in all forms was seen throughout the city of Civitas Dei as well as many other cities that filled the Empyre. Artists were well received in this time and they were much in demand, by private citizens and public organizations. There was beauty throughout the Empyrean and their most talented artists were there to capture it.

With the form near perfected in the Apollonic period, sculptors began working on a grander scale, creating images of Empyreans that were larger than their living counterparts. Images of those Empyreans made gods by their people were the largest. Immense marble figures decorated the halls of the Empyre while sculptures of the greatest scholars and politicians decked the porticos of libraries and buildings of the Aegis. Many sculptors of this period had started as students of and then apprentices for sculptors of the earlier period and the style has been continued through to this period.

While it seemed the pinnacle of sculpture was reached in the Apollonic period, painters thrived in the Ouranios period. Light and shadow was further explored in their works, creating living murals throughout the Empyre. Royal colors filled the palettes of artists and decorated the walls of homes of the nobility and wealthy merchants. Skin and clothing was as detailed as the sculpture of the time, a close mirror to the reality that surrounded them. Painters also began working on movable murals, consisting mainly of large slabs of wood which where painted and hung on or leaned against walls, a predecessor to more modern day canvas paintings.
