Sigismund III Vasa

Sigismund III Vasa is an Early Baroque Italian artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Bavarian State Painting Collections.

Sigismund III Vasa made large, formal paintings in the early 1600s. In “Allegory of the foundation of the Society of Jesus,” he shows crowned figures and clouds above a city skyline in oil paint. His style feels stiff and ceremonial, like the royal portraits of his time. Tap the painting to see the city’s towers and the holy symbols he included.
