Episode 331 - The Ceiling Fresco of Sant'Ignazio in Rome
from Rebuilding The Renaissance
One of Rome's most spectacular works of art is the illusionistic fresco that covers the ceiling of the church Sant'Ignazio. It was painted in 1685, covers nearly 40m of ceiling surface and depicts the "Glorification of St. Ignatius of Loyola" in an extraordinary example of trompe-l'oeil perspectival painting.
