The Glory of the Holy SpiritGiovanni Battista Gaulli

95
This dome fresco (c. 1679) centers on the Holy Spirit, symbolized by a radiant dove. Surrounding figures spiral upward in rapture, drawn into divine light. Through dramatic foreshortening and illusionistic space, the work evokes spiritual ascent and the Pentecostal fire of divine inspiration.
