Basilica of St. Martin and Oswald, Weingarten

The architecture of this monastic church was extended into the divine realm by 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 picture shows the west front of the basilica.
