Apse calotte: St Ignatius Helping the Sick and Poor
by POZZO, Andrea, Fresco
The picture represents Sant’Ignazio Curing Victims of the Plague. It is part of the decorative program by Andrea Pozzo which focused on the miracles of the founder of the Jesuit order. The frescoes were considered, both in Rome and beyond, an excellent example of the Baroque technique of creating the illusion of architectural depth in painting.
