Church of the Gesù

Another set of examples comparing two views of the same subject, this time of the interior of the Church Church of the Gesù, the mother church of the Jesuit order and symbol of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Completed in the late 16th century, the Baroque church was designed by several prominent architects, including Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola and Giacomo della Porta.

The first sketch is from the fall of 2023, while the second is from the summer of 2022, when I found the naves of stone churches to provide comforting respite from the sun and extreme heat.
