Big painting on a ceiling, how would you do it?

Hello people!

I stumble upon a Uncharted 4 environment done by Andres Rodriguez on Arstation.
As I was trying to analyze the scene thinking about how I would do it I couldn't think aobut a solution for the ceiling. It is too big for a single texture to retain all the detail I guess. It also has some wear and tear close to the wooden structure, I was thinking in something like decals might do the trick. So how would you do it? I am researching for a personal project that is close to this scene and any help will be gladly welcome

The edges are done with texture blending using a height map. If you search Polycount (try: Uncharted 4 tech) you'll find details from Naughty Dog themselves. Many of whom are long-time members here. For example

I also would like to know how to texture big assets like these.

Use multiple textures. Cut the object in more smaller Assets or use UDIMs.
