One thing I like doing very much in big churches is to go at the center and shoot up! This is the ceiling of Sant’Ignazio church (Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola at Campus Martius) in Rome, Italy. The church is dedicated to Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Society of Jesus. Built in Baroque style between 1626 and 1650. Andrea Pozzo painted this  fresco which celebrates the work of Saint Ignatius and the Society of Jesus in the world presenting the saint welcomed into paradise by Christ and the Virgin Mary and surrounded by allegorical representations of all four continents.
