EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Faith defeats Idolatry" showcases a magnificent marble sculpture created by Jean-Baptiste Theodon. Located in the Church of the Gesu in Rome, Italy, this masterpiece represents an allegorical scene of religious significance. The image captures the moment when Faith triumphs over idolatry, symbolizing the power and virtue of Christianity. The sculpture portrays figures overthrowing chalices and personifications of vices, emphasizing the victory of belief over sinful temptations. With its intricate details and baroque style, this artwork exemplifies the artistic brilliance prevalent during that era. As a significant piece within Catholicism's Counter Reformation movement, it holds immense historical importance. Created under the patronage of Jesuits, it reflects their commitment to spreading their faith and combating idolaters through visual storytelling. The presence of cherubs or putti adds a touch of celestial charm to this composition. Their angelic forms further enhance the overall spiritual atmosphere depicted within this artwork. Vincenzo Pirozzi has skillfully captured every nuance and detail in his photograph print. This visually stunning portrayal allows viewers to appreciate not only Theodon's craftsmanship but also experience a sense of awe-inspiring devotion that emanates from this sacred space.
