Pozzo, Glorification of Saint Ignatius, Sant'Ignazio
(lighthearted music) Male Voiceover: We're standing on a small circle of yellow stone in the middle of the floor of the nave of Saint Ignatius in Rome, and we're looking up at a miraculous ceiling.발음듣기
The colored marble of the nave walls continue up into the ceiling, and it looks so real, but we know that it's paint.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: That transition between the actual stone architecture and the painted surface, it seems that its rise up infinitely into the heavens is imperceptible.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: Even when the artist, Pozzo, is rendering figures that we know are simply paint, for instance, the angels, there is a kind of veracity, there's a kind of physicality, even as they hover.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: We know that the figures have to be paint because they're not actually flying around, but it's almost impossible not to be absorbed into this illusion that we're looking up at Saint Ignatius being welcomed into heaven by Christ himself.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: Well, this is the point, that this erasure of the distinction between our physical world and the miraculous world of heaven, this brings us into proximity with the divine in the most direct way.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: Well, it's as though where a heavenly miracle is appearing before us as though we are having a spiritual vision.발음듣기
The Jesuits are at the center of the attempt by the Catholic church to reclaim their primacy.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: Right, the idea of defending the faith against the Protestants at this moment, and also areas of the world that were not Christianized, and bringing them into the fold of the church, enhancing the power of the church.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: In fact, Pozzo, the artist, has really made that clear by representing the four great continents of the earth, Asia, the Americas, Europe, and Africa; and so this notion of the expansion of Catholicism to be come this universal truth is central to this painting.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: What we have in this painting is a reminder of just how important it was to reassert the Catholic faith's belief in the miraculous.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: As we stand in the [neath], I almost feel my body rising toward the ceiling, because as we look up, we see figures who are also moving toward heaven,발음듣기
and I think that's something that [proregard] always does weather we're looking at Caravaggio, or Bernini, or here with Pozzo, is breaking down that barrier between our world and the world of the heavenly.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: In fact, what you describe is expressed directly by the artist, Pozzo, in a letter where he details what the intent of this painting was.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: He wrote about how he represented rays sent from heaven, caught in a shield inscribed with the name of Jesus, used to light the flames of divine love in a golden cauldron, used to be distributed by angels.발음듣기
On the opposite side of the vault, avenging angels threaten those who resist the light of faith with divine wrath in the form of thunder bolts and javelins.발음듣기
One is to reaffirm the faith of those who believe, and the other is to attack those who went against the church.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: Just as the narrative of the painting describes the intention of the Jesuits, the style of the painting is a beautiful description of the concerns of the Baroque.발음듣기
Look at the sense of energy, the sense of theatricality, the sense of movement, the dynamism.발음듣기
You were mentioning the avenging angel, and look, for instance, at the diagonal of that javelin.발음듣기
Even the clouds are moving before us as though we were looking up into a real sky with wind and atmosphere.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: So, the Baroque borrows the naturalism of the High Renaissance, but activates it and puts it to a new purpose, which is here, the reaffirming of the Catholic faith.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: We've reached a natural end point that began with the invention of perspective and the illusion that perspective creates, beginning with Masaccio's Holy Trinity.발음듣기
Here we stand in one point in the church and that whole illusion comes together for us and merges the physical with the spiritual.발음듣기
Male Voiceover: An important point of the art and the architecture is the blur the lines between reality and the miraculous, and to make possible the divine in our world, to make it seem as if we can pass easily from one to the other.발음듣기
Metamorphosis is central here; the metamorphosis of the soul is in a sense represented through the metamorphosis of material.발음듣기
Female Voiceover: As we walk through the church after looking up at the ceiling, I find myself questioning the reality of the space I'm walking through.발음듣기
