It looks at thebuildings they set up, theirevolution over time, theirbenefactors and patrons, artists,materials, models, and artisticand cultural influences thatshaped these buildings.The author argues that Jesuit artin Goa took a “very differentapproach” to the generalconceptions of Jesuit art, at timescontradicting their artisticpractises and theories (
Modo Nostro
) that were considered asproper to the Society of Jesus.She says the Jesuits were“crucially influential” indetermining the local formusassumed by Catholic art and worship. Osswald also assesses the contribution brought about by

to the art and devotion of post-Tridentine Catholicism.Profusely illustrated and explained in detail, the work of a scholar relevant to the lay reader.Read this and see Jesuit art in a completely new light.
