"Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" (1691-94) is a monumental fresco by the Italian painter Andrea Pozzo, located in the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, Italy. This work is a significant example of Baroque art and is renowned for its dramatic use of perspective and illusionistic elements. Pozzo, a Jesuit brother himself, was an accomplished painter and architect, and his work often reflected the ideals and aspirations of the Society of Jesus during the Counter-Reformation.

The fresco is part of a larger decorative program within the church, which was designed to celebrate the achievements and global reach of the Jesuit order. Pozzo's "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is a visual representation of the order's evangelical efforts and the spread of the Catholic faith across the continents. The composition is rich with symbolic elements and figures that represent various aspects of the Jesuits' activities, including education, conversion, and the struggle against heresy.

Pozzo's mastery of quadratura painting—a technique that creates the illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces—is on full display in this work. The fresco is designed to be viewed from a specific point within the church, from which the perspective lines converge and the painted architecture appears to extend the real space of the church into the heavens. The dynamic interplay of real and painted architecture, combined with the allegorical content, serves to inspire awe and devotion in the viewer, in line with the spiritual objectives of the Jesuit order.

The "Allegory of the Jesuits' Missionary Work" is not only a testament to Pozzo's artistic skill but also an important cultural artifact that reflects the religious and political context of its time. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical brilliance and its role in the history of Baroque art and Jesuit iconography.
