The majestic and stunning frescoed vault inside the church of Sant'Ignazio di Loyola (St. Ignatius of Loyola), in the historic and Baroque heart of Rome. The fresco, depicting the Glory of St. Ignatius, founder of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), is one of the absolute masterpieces of the Roman Baroque. Painted by the artist Andrea Pozzo in 1685, this fresco almost entirely covers the vault of the church with a perspective representation that, between arches, clouds and columns, increases its space and volumes, effectively creating a virtual reality. The work depicts Christ (in the center) who radiates the figure of St. Ignatius and at the corners the allegories of the four continents known until then. In 1980 the historic center of Rome was declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. Super wide angle image in high definition format.
