"Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a monumental fresco painted by the Italian artist Andrea Pozzo between 1691 and 1694. Located in the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, this masterpiece is part of a larger decorative program that Pozzo executed in the church, which serves as a tribute to the achievements of the Jesuit order and its founder, Saint Ignatius of Loyola.

The fresco is renowned for its use of quadratura, a technique that creates the illusion of three-dimensional architecture on a flat surface. Pozzo's skillful employment of perspective and foreshortening transforms the ceiling into a visionary expanse, where the earthly and the divine realms appear to intermingle. The "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" specifically celebrates the global missionary activities of the Jesuits, depicting allegorical figures, saints, and angels alongside scenes of the order's evangelizing efforts across various continents.

Andrea Pozzo, a Jesuit brother himself, was not only a painter but also an architect and stage designer. His expertise in these fields is evident in the fresco's architectural illusions and dramatic compositions. The work serves as a testament to the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on art as a vehicle for religious instruction and inspiration, as well as to the Jesuits' role in spreading Catholicism around the world during the Age of Exploration.

The fresco's intricate iconography and breathtaking illusionism make it a quintessential example of Baroque art and a significant cultural artifact that reflects the religious, artistic, and geopolitical currents of its time. As a part of the church's ceiling, the "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" continues to draw visitors and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the grandeur and complexity of 17th-century ecclesiastical art.
