Cosmas Damian Asam

16861739

Bavarian architect and decorator who worked together with his brother Egid Quirin (1692-1750). They studied in Rome (1711-14) and developed further the dramatic effects of light and illusionism with which Italian Baroque artists, notably Bernini and Pozzo, had experimented. Both men worked as architects, but Cosmas Damian was also a prolific fresco painter, and Egin Quirin was a sculptor and stuccoist.
