Mapping Angels

This work explores the pivotal role of Jesuit artistry in the conversion of kingdoms and territories. It draws connections between significant artists and theorists from the Renaissance, including Paolo Uccello and Leon Battista Alberti, who utilized perspective as a powerful tool in art and rhetoric. The depiction of Brunelleschi’s experiments in perspective and works like Raphael's "School of Athens" and Holbein's "The Ambassadors" illustrate how art elevated the status of artists and served as a scientific inquiry into the world. The book showcases the interplay between religious missions and artistic endeavors.
