Johann Michael Rottmayr painted the inside of the central dome of the Melk Abbey. This particular painting was recently selected as the main motif of a very high value collectors' coin: the Austrian Melk Abbey commemorative coin, minted in April 18 2007. The reverse side gives a view up into the central dome of the church, with its typical vision of heaven.
