In this dramatic segment (1676–79) from the Triumph of the Name of Jesus, Gaulli casts the damned from heaven into shadow and chaos. Their bodies twist, morph, and scream as they recoil from the divine light. Cloaked in darkness and shame, they contrast sharply with the radiant saved above—embodying Baroque emotion and the terrifying cost of spiritual failure.
