Here the Jesuits' extraordinary commitment to the art's ~ the subject of a groundswell of recent scholarly work ~ comes spectacularly alive, with over 476 full color, high resolution images of Jesuit buildings, paintings, sculpture, theatrical sets, and music from around the globe, many of them published here for the first time. No other book dealing with this aspect of the Jesuits' activities is as comprehensive or as profusely illustrated. Authors of the twelve essays are leading specialists from Italy, Germany, Austria, France, Spain, Argentina, and the United States; some of them are published here in English for the first time. After John W. O'Malley's introductory essay "The Cultural Mission of the Society of Jesus," Giovanni Sale discusses first the principles that guided the Jesuits in design and construction of their churches and residences, and then, in a second essay, the tension between the Jesuits and Cardinal Alessandro Farnese, the imperious patron of their most important church, the Gesu in Rome. With a dazzling command of his material, Richard Bosel next takes the reader on an architectural tour of Jesuit churches, chapels, schools, residences, and meeting halls in Europe, spanning the Continent from France to Slovakia, from Spain to Poland and Lithuania, and from Rome to Antwerp. Gauvin Alexander Bailey leads a similar tour to show the influence of Italian painting on Jesuit art throughout Europe, after which Heinrich Pfeiffer discusses Jesuit iconography and, especially, the often frustrating efforts of the Jesuits to obtain a "true" portrait of Saint Ignatius. Marcello Fagiolo presents one of the least known but most fascinating aspects of Jesuit engagement with arts: the construction of elaborate temporary "stages" in their churches for the celebration of the Eucharistic devotion of the "Forty Hours." The volume takes leave of Europe with a theological/historical essay by Philippe Lecrivain on the Jesuit missions in Paraguay and China, which is followed by Ramon Gutierrez and Graciela Maria Vitiuales on the Jesuits' artistic and architectural legacy in Spanish America. Bailey returns with an essay on Jesuit art in Asia and another on Jesuit art in North America, specifically New France and Maryland. The volume concludes with T. Frank Kennedy on "The Jesuits and Music." Although much of this volume first appeared in Brazilian, French, and Spanish in a version edited by Giovanni Sale in 2003, the English~language version has further edited and updated many of the chapters (some of them radically), added the chapter on the Jesuits in North America, included many new color images, greatly expanded the captions, and brought up to date and amplified the bibliographies. In many significant ways, The Jesuits a.
