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)
