EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the exquisite beauty of the altar dedicated to St. Ignatius of Loyola in the chapel of Church del Gesù in Rome. The focal point of this magnificent shrine is a statue of the saint himself, who rests eternally within these hallowed walls. Flanking the altar on either side are two remarkable statues that add depth and meaning to this sacred space. On the left stands "Faith over Idolatry" by J. B. Thodon, a powerful depiction symbolizing the triumph of faith over false beliefs. On the right, we find "Religion conquering Heresy" by Legros, an evocative representation highlighting the victory of true religion against misguided doctrines. The craftsmanship and attention to detail exhibited in this late Baroque masterpiece are awe-inspiring. Every element has been meticulously designed, from architectural elements such as capitals and niches to decorative motifs like angels and figures adorning every surface. Dating back to around 1696-1700, this artwork by Andrea Pozzo exemplifies both Renaissance-Baroque styles and periods prevalent during that time in Europe's history. Its historical significance cannot be overstated as it represents a pivotal era when religious art played a central role in society. Captured around 1890, this photograph provides us with a glimpse into an earlier time while preserving for posterity one of Rome's most cherished treasures—the Chapel of St. Ignatius at Church del Gesù—a testament to human devotion and artistic brilliance spanning centuries. This print from Alinari serves as a reminder that art transcends time; it allows us to connect with our past while inspiring future generations with its profound beauty and spiritual significance
