Saint Ignatius de Loyola

Schelte Adams Bolswert after Sir Peter Paul Rubens

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a man standing upright with a solemn expression. He has a round face, short hair, and trimmed facial hair. The man is wearing an ornate religious robe with intricate patterns, extending down to his feet. One hand is raised and the other rests on an open book with the words "AD MAIOREM DEI GLORIAM." He has a halo around his head and there are clouds, light, and an "IHS" emblem in the top right corner. The background is plain, emphasizing his robe and the imagery.
