The Annunciation and the Four Prophets
by TROGER, Paul, Fresco
Paul Troger was one of the outstanding Austrian painters of the period. As compared with the German painters the colouring used by these Austrian artists is brighter, more joyful and more voluptuous. Troger decorated the monasteries of G�ttweig, Melk, Altenburg and Zwettle, and he influenced Franz Anton Maulbertsch, the most gifted painter of the period.
The scene of the Annunciation can be found on the ceiling of the nave.
