Magnificent Mainz-8

One gem that cannot be overlooked in the St Augustines church or Augustinerkirche, the red sandstone exterior and its beautiful display of statuary barely gives one an indication of the beauty behind its doors and is passed by easily on your march down the Augustinerstrasse.

 

The outside ornamentation essentially is a story of the coronation of Mary as the queen of heaven by Nikolaus Binterim in a Baroque style with an interior that is definitely Rocco.

 

I usually don’t have the time to view as many interiors as I would like to on my trips but this was one occasion that I was glad I poked my head through the door as the interior is something few have had the pleasure of observing apart from locals and visitor in the know.

 

Disclaimer: Not trying to be realistic in my editing there is enough realism in the world, my style is a mix of painterly and romanticism as well as a work in progress.

 

I took this with my D750 and Tamron SP 15-30 2.8 G2 Lens processed in LR and DXO Nik
