EDITORS COMMENTS
This 17th century portrait depicts Alexander VII, born Fabio Chigi, who served as Pope from 1655 until his death in 1667. Anonymous Dutch painter Anselm van Hulle, also known as Anselm van Hulle, masterfully captured the Pope's regal presence and stern demeanor in this oil on canvas painting. Alexander VII is shown wearing the traditional papal attire, including a red velvet cape edged with ermine, a white cassock, and a triple tiara adorned with precious stones. His long, flowing beard and prominent mustache are meticulously rendered, adding to the authenticity of the portrait. The Pope's direct gaze and serious expression convey a sense of authority and wisdom, fitting for the leader of the Catholic Church during a time of great political turmoil in Europe. The painting is believed to have been created around the time of the Peace of Westphalia, a series of treaties that ended the Thirty Years' War in Europe. As a delegate and negotiator, Alexander VII played a significant role in securing this historic peace treaty. This portrait, now housed in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm, Sweden, is a testament to the rich heritage of European art and the enduring influence of the Catholic Church during the 17th century. With its intricate details and vivid colors, this painting continues to captivate viewers and provide insight into the fashion, culture, and history of the time.
