This insightful work on the artistic features of the buildings erected by the Jesuit religious society in Goa deal with their architecture, painting, sculpture, woodcarving. It delves into the artistic and cultural influences that shaped the structures. Arguing that the Jesuit art in Goa had a different approach compared to the Jesuit art on other places and the Jesuits in Goa were crucial in determining the nature of Catholic art in the state, it discusses their luxurious art that appealed to the senses: their use of rich building decoration, luxurious fabrics, devotional objects, music and theatrical performances in religious ceremonies and inclusion of the local gastronomy in their festivities.
