The Apotheosis of St. IgnatiusAndrea Pozzo

Max captures The Apotheosis of St. Ignatius (1685–1694) using a viewing mirror beneath the ceiling, enhancing Pozzo’s Baroque illusionism. This optical device unveils the masterful perspective that transforms the flat vault into a celestial vision, merging art and exemplifying the Baroque fascination with perspective: a dynamic interplay between earthly and divine realms.
