It was constructed for Lothar Franz von Schönborn, Prince-Bishop of Bamberg and Archbishop of Mainz, to designs by Johann Dientzenhofer and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. It is considered a masterwork of Baroque art. The palace was built in a record five years by Johann Dientzenhofer and Johann Lukas von Hildebrandt. The stairwell on which they collaborated is just one component in a monumental space vaulted by a huge ceiling. The viewer is presented with an aesthetic cornucopia comprising painting, plasterwork, and architecture. The picture shows the courtyard view of the Weissenstein palace. ## Related artworks - [Exterior view]() - [General view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
