"Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Pozzo, created in the late 17th century as part of his extensive work in the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, Italy. Pozzo, a Jesuit brother, was renowned for his mastery in creating illusionistic ceiling paintings that extended architecture into the heavens. This particular fresco is a segment of the grandiose ceiling decoration that Pozzo executed in the nave of the church, which is dedicated to the founder of the Jesuit order, Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

The "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a celebration of the global missionary activities of the Jesuit order, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on evangelization and the spread of Catholic faith to the New World, Asia, and Africa. Pozzo's composition is rich in symbolism and iconography, depicting various figures and elements that represent the virtues and triumphs of the Jesuit missionaries. The fresco showcases the dynamic interplay between real and painted architectural elements, a technique known as quadratura, which Pozzo was particularly adept at.

In this work, Pozzo employs a complex array of perspectives, foreshortening, and trompe-l'œil effects to create a convincing illusion of three-dimensional space on a flat surface. The fresco serves not only as a decorative and didactic element but also as a testament to the Jesuits' intellectual and artistic contributions during the Baroque period. The "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" remains a significant example of Baroque art and an enduring symbol of the Jesuit order's historical impact on global Christianity.
