Chiesa del Gesù Interior - a photo on Flickriver

Chiesa del Gesù Interior

Looking down the nave at the Church of the Gesù (officially named Chiesa del Santissimo Nome di Gesù all'Argentina).

Above, occupying most of the nave ceiling is the dominant feature of the church, the spectacular ceiling fresco "The Triumph of the Name of Jesus" by Giovanni Battista Gaulli; aka Baciccio. ( View the entire fresco here:- flic.kr/p/2miibHd )

The church when consecrated in 1584 had a simple and rather austere interior. It was in the 17th Century that the interior was redesigned in the grand Baroque style. It was a rather dramatic change from the spirit of simplicity espoused by St Ignatius. At the time, the Jesuits thought grandeur and theatricality was needed to draw and keep the attention of followers.
