1 janv. 1534 - Jesuites founded
Description:
The order became a symbol of Counter-Reformation.
It gathered people who were intellectually strong, which turned it into an elitist organisation.
Jesuites captured the minds and hearts of people by means of visual propaganda - they employed a lot of contemporary artists, such as El Greco, Caravaggio or Rubens, to make an impression through architecture and painting.
