The architecture of this monastic church was extended into the divine realm ceiling paintings executed by Cosmas Damian Asam. In the vault of the basilica, he painted halls with columns and domes, steps and pillars, creating a fascinating architecture of the imagination which appeared to extend the actual architecture of the church. The tremendous, solidly built columns of the nave extend subtly above the cornice and arches as painted columns. The picture shows the nave of the basilica. | |
