"Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Pozzo, created between 1691 and 1694. This work is part of a larger series of frescoes that adorn the ceiling of the Church of Sant'Ignazio di Loyola in Campo Marzio, Rome. Pozzo, a Jesuit brother himself, was a master of Baroque illusionistic painting, and his work at Sant'Ignazio is considered one of the finest examples of trompe-l'œil, a technique used to create the optical illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces.

The "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a celebration of the global missionary activities of the Society of Jesus, the religious order founded by Ignatius of Loyola. Pozzo's composition is a dynamic interplay of figures, architecture, and heavenly visions that appear to transcend the physical boundaries of the church's ceiling. The fresco depicts angels, saints, and allegorical figures intermingled with scenes of Jesuit missionaries preaching and converting people from various parts of the world, including the Americas, Asia, and Africa.

Pozzo's work is notable for its grandeur and its intricate iconography, which is rich in symbolism and references to the Jesuit order's spiritual and educational goals. The fresco serves not only as a decorative masterpiece but also as a visual representation of the Jesuits' theological and cultural aspirations during the Counter-Reformation. The illusionistic effects achieved by Pozzo in this fresco are a testament to his skill as an artist and his understanding of perspective, light, and color, making "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" a significant contribution to the Baroque art movement and a jewel of Roman ecclesiastical decoration.
