Scene Description: Source caption: "Innenansicht der Jesuitenkirche, auch Universitätskirche bezeichnet, im 1. Wiener Gemeindebezirk Innere Stadt. Die Kirche wurde von 1623 bis 1627 von einem unbekannten Architekten errichtet. Von 1703 bis 1707 wurde der Kirchenbau von dem Jesuiten, Maler und Architekten Andrea Pozzo wesentlich umgebaut und umgestaltet. Unter anderem errichtete er die Türme. Über den acht Seitenkapellen zog er Emporen ein, die miteinander verbunden sind und von geraden und geschwungenen Säulen getragen werden. Er gestaltete auch die Fresken und schuf das Hochaltarbild sowie bis auf eines alle Seitenaltarbilder. Die Deckenfresken wurden 1827 und 1899 überarbeitet."
