"Mount Olympus and the continents" is titled the huge ceiling-image that was created by the Venetians in 1751-53 Würzburg . That does not sound very Christian and does not look that way.
If it were not for the bishop Testament motifs have been more appropriate?
Man was not so fussy, one was under the motto "In my Father's house are many rooms," and I am counting on the good side of Christianity. In addition, falls on that "pagan" ancient motifs for both the painter and for the Prince Bishop are as common as Christian, ancient and Christian imagery permeated each other in the pan-European Catholic public. The Renaissance had made it. The architecture of the residence points beyond Franken and Germany, to Versailles, the magnificent architectural model. Would fit the famed Venetian Tiepolo, who actually did not work outside Italy, but did commit the money of the Franks and the size of the task. Should we blame it to the Catholic bishop that he the money of his subjects in this magnificent building put up impressive today? To the north of the Calvinist
invested behaved Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia about the same time not in baroque splendor, but in agriculture, military, administration, law and education domain. Above all, he saved, mainly wars. Say Solomonic, had both a privilege that has a significant but probably more.
And today may be "Mount Olympus and the continents" as a very cheap purchase reproduction, yes, there is almost nothing the whole Tiepolo. The times have improved.
