This appears to be a baroque Catholic religious painting of St. Ignatius of Loyola. I don't know who the artist is.

Happy Feast Day Saint Edmund Arrowsmith 1585-1628 Feast Day: August 28

Saint Edmund Arrowsmith, born Brian Arrowsmith, but preferred his confirmation name Edmund was a Jesuit martyr. His family suffered steadfastly for their Catholic faith through the anti-Catholic period in England. His parents were arrested when Edmund was a child. He never saw them again. In 1605, he left England and became a priest in Douai, Belgium, and returned in 1612 to serve for 15 years in Lancashire. In 1622, he was arrested for being a priest, only to be pardoned by King James I. He became a Jesuit after he completed the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises in 1624. Once again he was betrayed as a priest in 1628 and hanged and quartered. His last words were, “Bone Jesu” (O good Jesus). He’s one of the 40 Martyrs of England and Wales. {website}

under the weather and re-reading his dark materials, never gonna understand how tf certain religious people get so mad at the critique of the organizations of religion in certain fictional works

Jesuit rebel priest Clavijero resurrected Mexico's past, defying dogma with Aztec language, science, and a dash of wit. His “Ancient History” and Baja California tales ignited debates and opened doors to understanding a lost world, proving history's magic lies beyond dusty dates.

The Windhover

Gerard Manley Hopkins - the Jesuit’s poetry at its finest.

I caught this morning morning’s minion, king-   dom of daylight’s dauphin, dapple-dawn-drawn Falcon, in his riding   Of the rolling level underneath him steady air, and striding High there, how he rung upon the rein of a wimpling wing In his ecstasy! then off, off forth on swing,    As a skate’s heel sweeps smooth on a bow-bend: the hurl and gliding    Rebuffed the big wind. My heart in hiding Stirred for a bird,—the achieve of; the mastery of the thing!

Brute beauty and valour and act, oh, air, pride, plume, here    Buckle! AND the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my chevalier!

   No wonder of it: shéer plód makes plough down sillion Shine, and blue-bleak embers, ah my dear,    Fall, gall themselves, and gash gold-vermillion.
