EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a significant moment in history, as Pope Leo X pronounces the Bull of the Lords Steel. This illustration is taken from James Aitken Wylie's renowned work, "The History of Protestantism" published in 1878. The engraving showcases an English School's artistic prowess and now resides in a private collection. Pope Leo X, born Giovanni di Lorenzo de Medici, held his papacy from 1513 until his death in 1521. In this scene, he stands on a grand balcony within Vatican City, surrounded by archbishops, bishops, cardinals, and clergy members. The atmosphere is electric with anticipation as crowds gather below to witness this historic event. The image depicts the power and influence of the Roman Catholic Church during the sixteenth century. As Pope Leo X delivers his decree through a papal bull—a formal document issued by the pontiff—the spectators eagerly await its contents. The intricate details captured by the artist highlight not only their excitement but also their reverence for religious authority. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact that offers insight into one of Christianity's most transformative eras. It reminds us of the immense impact that religious leaders had on society during this period and invites contemplation about how faith shaped cultural landscapes throughout history.
