The image displays a detailed view of a prominent Baroque high altar located within the Kollegienkirche (Collegiate Church) at Universitätsplatz 20, Salzburg, Austria. The central feature is a large, vertically oriented oil painting with an arched top, depicting a multi-figure celestial scene. A central female figure, clad in blue and pink drapery, is surrounded by numerous putti and winged figures amidst clouds, suggesting an ascent. Below her, a male figure in a red robe with white lace cuffs looks upwards. Flanking the main painting are two life-sized statues of male saints, positioned on ornate pedestals. Both figures are depicted in white albs beneath golden chasubles and are adorned with golden halos. The saint on the left appears to hold an object, possibly a staff or chalice, while the saint on the right has his left hand resting on his chest. These figures are identifiable as St. Rupert (left) and St. Virgil (right). Below the central painting, an elaborate lower section of the altar features a smaller, rectangular icon of the Madonna and Child, framed by a prominent golden sunburst with radiating rays. The icon's surface shows a significant reflective glare. The entire altar structure is constructed from richly carved wood, painted and marbled to simulate various shades of red, dark green, brown, and gold, enhanced by intricate gilded scrollwork and decorative motifs. In the immediate foreground, at the base of the altar, a dark, polished surface, likely an altar table, displays a row of multiple unlit white taper candles in dark holders. The surrounding environment reveals the church's interior, characterized by bright white, highly ornate Baroque architecture, including decorative columns, arches, and vaulted ceilings. Natural light illuminates the scene, primarily emanating from a large, gridded, arched window positioned high above the altar.
