    I saw this on a site discussing The Blessed Mother. This picture is so beautiful it would be sad not to let others see it.

    Wow. Maybe this is common knowledge, but someone tell me the name of the artist responsible for this masterpiece.

    Thanks, with your information I was able to pull up more info about him. His full name was Egid Quirin Asam and he often worked with his brother, Cosmas.

    They created some really beautiful and unusual stuff. For instance:
