Modern Expressionism Meets Gothic Majesty

view map

Tucked away inside the northern choir of the Cologne Cathedral sits this breathtaking, lesser-known mid-20th century ceiling fresco. Guarding the gated entryway to the subterranean Cathedral Treasury, the vaulted mural depicts biblical scenes—including the Apocalyptic Lamb and King David—in vivid, unexpected colors that contrast beautifully with the soaring 700-year-old dark stone columns surrounding it.
