Ceiling Fresco in the Asam Church in Ingolstadt (Detail)
The fresco “Incarnatio Dominica“ (“Incarnation of the Lord”) covers the whole ceiling of the Asam Church in Ingolstadt, which was built between 1732 and 1736. Here you can see a detail with one of many trompe-l'œil effects: what looks vertical here is horizontal in reality, and the pillars which seem to tilt inwards in the upper part of the picture will look upright from another point of view (please see the picture I have attached).
Cosmas Damian Asam was the painter of this fresco, his brother Egid Quirin Asam was the architect of the church.
