Description
The Church of Saint Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius is dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, and is located in Rome, Italy. The church is built in Baroque style between 1626 and 1650. Andrea Pozzo, a Jesuit brother, painted the grandiose fresco that stretches across the nave ceiling (after 1685), celebrating the work of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus in the world presenting the saint welcomed into paradise by Christ and the Virgin Mary and surrounded by allegorical representations of all four continents.
