Ceiling of the church of Gesù Nuovo, Naples, Italy. Originally a palace built in 1470, it was bought by the Jesuits who constructed a church (1584–1601) under architect Giuseppe Valeriano. The construction was also helped by local support including that of Roberta Carafa, Countess of Maddaloni. When the Jesuits were expelled from Naples in 1767, the church passed to the Franciscan order. The Jesuits returned in 1821, only to be expelled again in 1848.
