"Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a significant fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Pozzo, created between 1691 and 1694. This masterpiece is located in the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, Italy, and is part of a larger decorative program within the church that glorifies the accomplishments and spiritual missions of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Pozzo, a Jesuit brother himself, was renowned for his mastery in creating illusionistic architecture and perspective, and this fresco is a prime example of his skill.

The fresco is a detail of a more extensive ceiling decoration that depicts the apotheosis of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuits, and the monumental role of the order in spreading the Christian faith across the globe. "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" specifically illustrates the Jesuits' evangelical efforts and their dedication to education and conversion of peoples from various continents. Pozzo's work is celebrated for its dynamic composition, dramatic use of perspective, and the integration of real architectural elements with the painted architecture to create a convincing illusion of three-dimensional space.

The fresco is a testament to the Baroque era's emphasis on grandeur and the use of art as a means of religious and ideological expression. It serves not only as a visual narrative of the Jesuits' endeavors but also as a symbol of the Catholic Church's power and influence during the Counter-Reformation. Pozzo's fresco remains a significant cultural and artistic treasure, reflecting the rich history of the Jesuit order and the broader context of 17th-century religious art in Europe.
