Cosmas Damian Asam (September 29, 1686-May 10, 1739) was born in Benediktbeuern. He became a painter and architect during the late Baroque period. In 1711, he moved to Rome to study at the Accademia di San Luca with Carlo Maratta and in 1713 won the Academy's first prize for his drawing of Miracle of Saint Pio. He worked with his brother Egid Quirin and their joint projects are often attributed to the "Asam Brothers". These include the Asam Church in Munich and the Cathedral of St. Jacob in Innsbruck. Cosmas Damian died in Munich.
