Ceiling fresco, Tegernsee Abbey, GermanyPosted by MadScientist (Düsseldorf, Germany) on 25 January 2008 in Art & Design. The former Benedictine monastery at Tegernsee, Bavaria, hosts the local Catholic parish church of Saint Quirinus and is a fine example of Baroque refurbishment after the disastrous Thirty Years' War (1618-1648). The photograph shows one of the many paintings on the ceiling, where folk belief and tradition meets masterly painting. Here's another shot that I took there.
