Description: Prunksaal (splendor hall): allegory of war and law. Ceiling painting made by Daniel Gran (1694–1757) and finished in 1730. The splendor hall of the Austrian National Library [1] was designed and started by Johann Fischer von Erlach [2] and finished by his son Joseph Emanuel [3] in 1726. The frescoes reflect the division of the Prunksaal, after the original list of the books, into a "war-law" and a "peace-heaven" wings. The barock program for the fresco was done by Conrad Adolph von Albrecht (1682–1751)
