In what ways did the Jesuits deploy the Baroque visual language of the time to persuade the public of their vision on humankind, religion and society? In this beautifully illustrated book, which includes numerous artworks by Peter Paul Rubens and others, diverse authors rise to the challenge of finding answers to this complex question. The setting is Antwerp in the 17th century. At that time, the city served as the headquarters of the Jesuit order in the Netherlands and as a bastion against Calvinism in the Dutch Republic. The arts were flourishing in an unprecedented manner there. Painters such as Rubens and Van Dyck produced works commissioned by the Jesuits and participated in the life of the Catholic community organized by the order, together with large groups of other believers. For example, the book considers in some detail the baroque Church of St Ignatius - today St Charles Borromeo Church - on Hendrik Conscienceplein, for which Rubens created virtuoso ceiling paintings. The authors also show how more humble genres such as religious folk prints, illustrated saints' lives and school, emblem and prayer books were also used to win over as many believers as possible, both at home and in distant overseas territories.
