The holy spirit (in explore 01-09-2016)

It's the holy spirit that tops the dome over the crossing of the Roman church Il Gesù. The mother church of the Jesuit order and flagship of the Counter-Reformation was built in the 2nd half of the 16th century. The 17th century decorations are the work of Baciccia, skilfully blending painting with sculpture. Il Gesù is one of the foremost examples of Roman Baroque art at its most excessively opulent.
