성 이그나티오 데 로욜라
Miguel Cabrera captures the spiritual intensity of the Baroque era in this celestial vision of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. Floating on clouds, the saint holds a book inscribed with the order's famous motto, 'Ad Maiorem Dei Gloriam' (For the greater glory of God), while cherubs present a red banner with the IHS monogram. Beneath him, a figure clutches books in distress, representing the triumph of divine revelation over earthly error. Cabrera, a leading painter of 18th-century Mexico, masterfully uses deep blues and dramatic lighting to lift the viewer's eye toward the divine triangle in the saint's halo.
