Asamkirche
Asamkirche is a Baroque church built from 1733 to 1746 by the brothers, sculptor Egid Quirin Asam, and painter Cosmas Damian Asam as their private church with a lavish interior swathed in gold leaf, with intricate frescoes. The interior is divided vertically into three sections, which increase in brightness from the bottom upwards. The lowermost portion of the benches for the church visitors is kept relatively dark and symbolizes the suffering of the world. The second section, located above, is kept white and blue, to honour the emperor. The uppermost portion of the illuminated ceiling painting is dedicated to God and eternity. (Munich, Germany)
