The Triumph of the Name of JesusGiovanni Battista Gaulli

132
This dramatic fresco (1676–79) fills the nave ceiling with a celestial eruption of light and figures. At its center, divine radiance emanates from the monogram IHS, the symbol of Jesus. Saved souls rise toward the light, while sinners tumble into shadow. Blending paint and stucco, the work fuses heaven and church in Baroque theatricality.
