This Baroque altarpiece and fresco ensemble (c. 1676) celebrates the glorification of Christ’s name. Inspired by Philippians 2:10 , it presents a radiant burst of divine light marked with IHS , surrounded by the saved ascending in glory and the damned falling into shadow. The dramatic illusionism blurs architecture, sculpture, and painting into one ecstatic vision.
