EDITORS COMMENTS
This drawing captures the momentous occasion of Queen Christina of Sweden's conversion to Catholicism in 1655. After her abdication from the throne, she embraced the Catholic faith and received her first communion from Pope Alexander VII in Rome. The delicate feather drawing beautifully depicts this significant event in history.
Queen Christina's decision to convert to Catholicism was a controversial one, as she was breaking away from the Protestant religion that had been dominant in Sweden. Her meeting with Pope Alexander VII marked a turning point in her spiritual journey, symbolizing her commitment to embracing a new faith.
The artist has skillfully captured the emotion and significance of this moment through intricate details and expressive lines. The image conveys Queen Christina's sense of reverence and devotion as she receives communion from the Pope.
This drawing serves as a visual representation of an important chapter in Queen Christina's life, showcasing her courage and determination to follow her own path despite societal expectations. It is a reminder of the power of faith and personal conviction, even in the face of adversity.
