Johann Michael Rottmayr (1654 - 1730)
Johann Michael Rottmayr was trained by his grandfather and his mother. After completing his apprenticeship with Johann Franz Pereth (1622–1678), he spent thirteen years studying with Johann Carl Loth (1632–1698) in Venice. In 1687 he settled in Salzburg, and two years later he received from Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst Graf Thun (1643–1709) major commissions for frescos in the Mirabell Palace and the Carabinieri Hall of the Residenz. He decorated churches and secular buildings in Vienna, Salzburg and Moravia. In 1704, Emperor Leopold I (1640–1705) conferred upon him the title “von Rosenbrunn”.
