Aeneas's Sacrifice
by ROTTMAYR, Johann Michael, Fresco
The Salzburg painter Johann Michael Rottmayr was commissioned in 1705 to decorate the ground floor halls and the stairwells in the Liechtenstein Garden Palace at Rossau. The picture shows one of the ceiling frescoes in the Gentlemen’s Apartments where the paintings contain motifs related to male society (Sacrifice of Aeneas, Alexander’s Fight with the Griffins).
