| Sumario: | Thanks to a model of prayer in the Spiritual Exercises inspired by the imagination of gospel scenes, the Society of Jesus developed a religious culture linked to the image. Its use was the way the Jesuits represented themselves, clarifying the meaning of their mission and identity. Thus, its Colleges and churches were the spaces used for a self-representation that reflects, in different parts of the world, a homogeneous four-dimensional iconographic program: a. the variety of ministries of the word, b. the global apostolic character, c. the institutional propaganda through the image of martyrdom and d. the adaptation of its members to local cultures, in a special way, together with the elites. These elements can be clearly seen in the iconographic program of the Templo del Colegio de la Transfiguración del Cusco, Perú. |
