Triumph of the Name of Jesus (sketch)
A vortex of light and figures swirls around the monogram IHS—the Baroque in draft.
Working design for Rome’s paradigm of Baroque ceiling illusion.
#244
Triumph of the Holy Name (Gaulli sketch)
A lightning-fast Baroque oil sketch for Il Gesù’s ceiling: the IHS monogram bursts like a sun as saints surge upward and the damned tumble from the light. Gaulli’s idea, raw and blazing, caught before the fresco fixed it forever.
Working model for the landmark ceiling of Il Gesù.
