The Counter Reformation, also known as the Catholic Reformation, was a significant movement within the Catholic Church during the 16th and 17th centuries. It aimed to counteract the spread of Protestantism and strengthen Catholic doctrine. One influential figure during this period was Saint John of the Cross (1542-1591), a Spanish mystic whose teachings emphasized spiritual purification and union with God. His profound insights into Christian spirituality continue to inspire believers today. Another key figure in the Counter Reformation was Ignatius of Loyola (1491-1556). As a priest since 1537, he founded the Society of Jesus, commonly known as the Jesuits. The Jesuits played a crucial role in promoting education, missionary work, and defending Catholicism against Protestant ideas. In Salo, Province of Brescia, there is a street scene featuring a statue of Borromeo. This statue pays tribute to Saint Charles Borromeo (1538-1584), an influential cardinal who played an active role in implementing reforms within the Church during this era. Artistic expressions were also used to convey religious messages during this time. One notable painting is "Saint Augustine between Christ and Mary" by Rubens. This artwork depicts Saint Augustine seeking guidance from both Christ and Mary as he grapples with theological questions. Sculptor Gregorio Fernandez (1576-1636) created his masterpiece "Pieta, " which can be found at the National Sculpture Museum. This sculpture captures deep emotions surrounding Christ's crucifixion and serves as a powerful symbol of redemption for Catholics. Emperor Charles V is depicted in Titian's painting "Portrait of Emperor Charles V with a Dog. " Painted in 1533, it showcases his authority while highlighting his close relationship with animals – perhaps signifying loyalty or companionship amidst political challenges. Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640), one of the most renowned Baroque painters, contributed greatly to Catholic art during this period.
