"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

God the Father in a wreath of clouds with four angels

God the Father circled by cloud

Ceiling relief dedicated to, and depicting, God the Father

The carved, painted, and gilded ceiling relief was probably made in the second half of the 17th century in the workshop of the sculptor Vinazer for the ceiling of St. Jakob's Church. It depicts God the Father with his right hand raised in blessing and his left hand resting on the orb and cross, set against a blue starry sky. He is surrounded by a wreath of clouds and four winged angels.
