♦️Ceiling of Sant’Ignazio♦️⠀ ⠀ 👨🎨By: Andrea Pozzo⠀ ⠀ 📚 Pozzo was best known for his frescoes using the technique of quadratura to create an illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces. This grandiose fresco stretches across the nave ceiling of Sant’Ignazio church in Rome. It celebrates the work of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus in the world presenting the saint welcomed into paradise by Christ and the Virgin Mary and surrounded by allegorical representations of all four continents. Pozzo worked to open up, even dissolve the actual surface of the nave's barrel vault illusionistically, arranging a perspectival projection to make an observer see a huge and lofty cupola (of a sort), open to the bright sky, and filled with upward floating figures.
