Triumph of the Name of Jesus

Giovan Battista Gaulli

The Church of the Jesus

 
DESCRIZIONE:

This splendid fresco, absolute masterpiece of the baroque, coordinates with the beautiful stucchi of Antonio Raggi to give the illusion of breaking through the ceiling to find a celestial vision. At the center are the greek letters "IHS" for Jesus and the saint-founder of the Jesuit Order, Ignatius of Loyola. The sketch of the work is kept at Galleria Spada.
