THE JESUIT CHURCH OF SAINT Ignazio ceiling by Jesuit brother Andrea Pozzo. The huge painting depicting the life and works of Saint Ignatius lifts and expands the simple building skyward, using forced perspective to move the figures up into the heights. The technique is known as quadratura, a mixture of geometrically accurate architecture in forced perspective and elements of fantasy, like cherubs and floating saints. He painted another illusion for the barrel-vaunted ceiling. The best way to view the illusion is to enter the church keeping your eyes low until you reach the circular marble marker that indicates the ideal vantage point for taking in the “dome.” A second marker on the floor indicates the ideal viewing spot for the rest of the ceiling.
