Pozzo is renowned for his frescoes using the quadratura technique, which creates the illusion of three-dimensional space on flat surfaces. His most famous work adorns the ceiling of the nave in the Church of Sant'Ignazio in Rome, depicting a grand scene where Saint Ignatius is welcomed into heaven by Christ and the Virgin Mary, surrounded by allegories of the four continents. Through masterful use of perspective, Pozzo dissolves the real barrel-vaulted ceiling into an illusion of a vast dome, open to the bright sky, filled with ascending figures.🎭
