## Commentary

The Benedictine monastery church in Lambach, Austria, was built from 1056 to 1089. Its extensive fresco cycle \(twenty-three scenes and remnants of scenes\) is in a good state of preservation. It was executed by a workshop, likely located in Salzburg, which must have been familiar with the mosaics in the vestibule of San Marco in Venice. It is assumed that the chief master was schooled in one of the centres of Byzantine art export, in Aquileia or Venice.
