EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th-century print showcases the breathtaking interior of the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius in Rome, Italy. The Church, built between 1650 and 1677, is a masterpiece of Baroque architecture and art, and this particular image captures the beauty of the transept's Chapel of the Annunciation. The altarpiece in the chapel, created by Filippo Della Valle between 1749 and 1753, is a marvel of marble craftsmanship. The central scene depicts the Annunciation, with the Archangel Gabriel delivering the news of the Immaculate Conception to the Virgin Mary. The altarpiece is surrounded by allegorical figures and angels, expertly sculpted by Pietro Bracci. The Annunciation is a significant event in Christian theology, marking the beginning of the Gospel of Luke and the start of the story of Jesus Christ. The scene is depicted with great detail and emotion, with the figures of Gabriel and Mary captured in a moment of profound reverence. The columns and capitals of the chapel are adorned with intricate carvings, adding to the overall grandeur of the space. The print also reveals the beauty of the church's cupola, with its stunning frescoes and intricate details. The Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius is a must-see destination for anyone visiting Rome, and this print offers a unique and beautiful glimpse into its history and artistic significance. The Jesuit order, to which St. Ignatius belonged, played a significant role in the spread of the Catholic faith during the modern age, and this church stands as a testament to their enduring influence.
