RAGGI, Antonio
(b. 1624, Vico Morcote, d. 1686, Roma)

Ceiling decoration

c. 1680
Stucco
Il Gesù, Rome

In the upper part of the ceiling the separation between Baciccio's painting, statues and decoration is very neat. The most striking aspect is the fact that the angels appear to be floating in the air. They were designed by two of the most talented younger scholars of Bernini (Antonio Raggi and Leonardo Retti).
