Abstract

The Church of the Annunciation was once the temple of the Casa Profesa of the Company of Jesus in Seville. The emblematic program of the dome (ca. 1756-1767) is composed of a sequence of 16 hieroglyphs, whose objective is an apology for the Society of Jesus and his charism. It makes sense at a time when the Society of Jesus is going through a serious crisis by imposing the regalist policies of enlightened despotism. This article is the second part of the one published in this same magazine in number 11 (January-June, 2017).
