Triumph of the Name of Jesus (detail)Giovanni Battista Gaulli

89
In this detail from Triumph of the Name of Jesus (c. 1670s), Gaulli floods the vault with heavenly radiance surrounding Christ’s monogram, “IHS.” Figures from all nations surge upward through light and cloud, symbolizing global adoration. The illusionistic technique dissolves boundaries between painting and space, drawing the faithful into divine elevation.
