EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning lithograph captures the intricate and ornate costumes of the clergy of the Roman Catholic Church during the 16th and 17th centuries. On the left, a deacon is depicted wearing Dalmatics, a traditional liturgical vestment. The rich colors and detailed embroidery showcase the importance placed on ceremonial attire within the church. In the center of the image stands a choir child, dressed in a more simplified yet still elegant robe. Their presence adds a sense of innocence and purity to the scene, reminding us of the role that children have played in religious ceremonies throughout history. To the right of the composition is a sub deacon, adorned in similarly elaborate garments as his fellow clergy members. The attention to detail in each figure's costume highlights not only their individual roles within the church hierarchy but also serves as a visual representation of their devotion to God. This lithograph serves as a window into a bygone era when faith was intertwined with artistry and tradition. It reminds us of the enduring influence that religion has had on culture and society throughout history.
