The Miracle of St. Ignatius

by Peter Paul Rubens.

I went to Genova today for some shopping, mostly in the industrial areas/shopping centers. At the end of the day I drove to the city center to have dinner there. I walked to the Cathedral of San Lorenzo and then passed the Church of Jesus (Chiesa del Gesu), where I found this painting. I was not expecting a Rubens in a church in Genova, but there it was, and here it is :)

It's a strange painting.. large gives you a somewhat better opportunity to look at all the oddities.
