EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Sermon of the Papal Legate, Cornelius Musso, in the Augustinerkirche, Vienna in 1561. Painted by Jakob Seisenegger, this oil on panel artwork measures 70.9x48 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts a powerful scene within the church as Musso delivers his sermon to an attentive congregation. Standing at a grand pulpit adorned with intricate carvings, he commands attention with his passionate gestures and eloquent words. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and awe as light streams through stained glass windows onto the clergy below. The artist skillfully portrays every detail of this ecclesiastical setting; from the ornate crucifix hanging above Musso to the gallery filled with spectators observing this significant event. The composition exudes a sense of solemnity and spirituality that transports viewers back to this historical moment. Cornelius Musso was sent as nuntius (papal ambassador) to Emperor Ferdinand in 1560, making this sermon particularly noteworthy. This painting serves as both a visual record of an important religious gathering and a testament to Seisenegger's artistic talent. Overall, this image offers us a glimpse into an era where faith played a central role in society, capturing not only the physical space but also conveying the spiritual significance of such gatherings within churches like Augustine Friars' Church in Vienna.
