Abstract
The Angels' Chapel in the Church of the Gesu in Rome was painted in the last decade of the 16th century. While the iconographic program of the chapel's decoration reflects the tenets of the Counter-Reformation Church, it is also notably congruent with Jesuit concerns. This article provides a detailed interpretation of the chapel's fresco cycle within two interdependent contexts: the Catholic-Protestant conflict over cardinal theological issues, and the Catholic belief in the hierarchical intercession for salvation. Furthermore, the discussion provides an understanding of how the visual arts served the post-Tridentine Church.
期刊介绍：
Artibus et Historiae is a journal dedicated to the visual arts, published by IRSA Publishing House. The lavishly illustrated articles cover a broad range of subjects, including photography and film, as well as traditional topics of scholarly art research. Artibus et Historiae particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies - art history in conjunction with other humanistic fields, such as psychology, sociology, philosophy, or literature - and unconventional approaches. Thus it is hoped that the current trends in art history will be well represented in our issues. Artibus et Historiae appears twice a year, in hardback. The articles are in one of four languages: English, Italian, German, or French, at the author"s discretion.
