The Jesuit Church in Székesfehérvár was ordained in 1756. The man, who significantly influenced its construction and the creation of interior decoration, was father Anton Vanossi, who lived in Vienna as deputy of the superior general of the Austrian Province of the Jesuits. The individual scenes follow a hierarchy, whereby the system presents a conscious strategy of the Jesuits, who tried to depict multiple levels or grades of contemplation to the believers. The paper analyses the question of how and whether can be connected the aesthetic and religious experience in the perception of a painted defined sacred space.
