In the Carmelite Priory in Mdina, Malta - a Baroque church built 1660-1675 - but the painting here in the dome actually dates to 1901.
The ceiling frescoes in the Freising cathedral.
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

The stone work in this church is quite amazing.
In the church Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome - this one was built in 1472-1477, replacing a medieval church (said to have been built on the spot where the wicked emperor Nero had been buried - though this is now very much doubted and that founding history is more to be viewed as a myth). It was originally a pure Renaissance church, but got some remodelling done in the 17th century which gives the church a touch of Baroque too. The biggest claim to fame for the church is, probably, the two paintings by Caravaggio in a chapel to the left of the high altar.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven!"
