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 Villa was built for Pope Julius III, started in 1551 and completed around 1553, as a place to relax at and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The decorations at this place are still quite amazing. And I am willing to bet that quite a few of the visitors miss this particular ceiling - it's the ceiling above the museum shop!
Today the villa houses the National Etruscan Museum.

Se empezó a construir como mezquita en el año 786, con la apropiación por los conquistadores musulmanes de la basílica hispanorromana de San Vicente Mártir y la reutilización de parte de los materiales, quedando reservada al culto musulmán.3 El edificio resultante fue objeto de ampliaciones durante el Emirato de Córdoba y el Califato de Córdoba. Con 23 400 metros cuadrados, fue la segunda mezquita más grande del mundo en superficie, por detrás de la Mezquita de La Meca, siendo sólo alcanzada posteriormente por la Mezquita Azul (Estambul, 1588). Una de sus principales características es que su muro de la qibla no fue orientado hacia La Meca, sino 51º grados más hacia el sur, algo habitual en las mezquitas de al-Ándalus.

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.
