Pope Saint Pius V, born Antonio Ghislieri, ascended to the papal throne in 1566 and reigned until his death in 1572. Renowned for his unwavering devotion to Catholicism, he was canonized as a saint on May 22nd, 1712 by Pope Clement XI. In this portrait-like depiction, we see Pope Pius V portrayed with great detail and precision. His side profile reveals a strong and determined countenance that reflects both wisdom and authority. Adorned with the iconic papal tiara atop his head - also known as the triple crown or triple tiara - he symbolizes not only spiritual leadership but also temporal power.
