The ceiling of the Jesuit church of St. Ignazio in Rome - made 3D by the extraordinary genius of Andrea Pozzo. One of the finest illusionistic ceiling frescoes ever painted.

“Max Weber spoke of the ‘disenchantment of the world’ and ‘life in an iron cage.’ Are we really doomed to this cage, or have we locked ourselves in it? This is, first and foremost, an intuition: life is much more than this. In spite of everything, in spite of all our attempts to ‘rationalize’ it, to make it comprehensible and predictable, life nonetheless remains a mystery. In its “great return”, myth can tell us about what this mystery is. Perhaps we can expect a great wave of “re-mythologization”, the creation of new mythologies after the general banalization that has now reached an unprecedented extent. The future, however, is unpredictable. Even today, man does not live fully in a rational universe, one part of him forever belongs to the great realms of the mythical.”
