The frescoes adorning the ceiling of the **Chiesa di Sant'Ignazio di Loyola** in Rome are one of the most spectacular works of Baroque art. Painted by **Andrea Pozzo** between 1685 and 1694, they exemplify masterful illusionistic perspective. The central element of the painting is the **apotheosis of St. Ignatius of Loyola**, the founder of the Jesuit order. The saint is depicted ascending toward heaven, surrounded by angels and other saints. The illusionary dome, though not actually present, creates the impression of a vast space, as if the sky is opening above the faithful. Pozzo used the technique of **quadratura**, which, through precise manipulation of linear and atmospheric perspective, makes the architecture of the church seamlessly blend into the heavenly vision.
