EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene at the entrance of the Basilica in the Vatican. The statue of St. Peter stands tall, while at its foot lies Pope Pius IX (pio 9) (1792-1878), depicted in an engraving from the 19th century. This powerful image is part of Francis Wey's Rome story, published in "le tour du monde" and edited by D Edouard Charton in 1869. The engraving beautifully portrays the solemnity and reverence associated with Catholicism as Pope Pius IX engages in prayerful contemplation. The intricate carving details on both the statue and the pope's attire showcase exceptional craftsmanship. The photograph belongs to Leonard de Selva's private collection, adding to its historical significance. It offers a glimpse into Italian religious culture during that era, highlighting Rome as a center for devotion and spirituality. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it reminds us of the enduring influence of religion throughout history. It serves as a testament to Pope Pius IX's leadership within Catholicism during his time, leaving an indelible mark on both believers and art enthusiasts alike. This print not only captures a significant moment but also invites viewers to reflect upon their own faith or appreciate the artistic mastery behind such creations.
