EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pope Pius IX, a prominent figure in the history of the Catholic Church. Created by French artist Felix Hilaire Buhot in 1946, this etching beautifully captures the essence of this influential religious leader. Pope Pius IX, born Giovanni Maria Mastai-Ferretti in 1792, held his papal position from June 16th, 1846 until his passing in 1878. His reign as pope lasted an astonishing 31 years, making him the longest-serving elected pope to date. This portrait serves as a testament to his enduring impact on Catholicism during the nineteenth century. Buhot's artistic style reflects elements of impressionism prevalent during that era. The monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to Pope Pius IX's visage while capturing the nuances of light and shadow. Edward T. Chase included this remarkable artwork in his book "The Etchings of the French Impressionists and Their Contemporaries" published in Paris in 1946 by The Hyperion Press. It stands as a significant contribution to art history and provides viewers with a glimpse into both religious iconography and artistic expression. As you admire this stunning print, take note of how it encapsulates not only Pope Pius IX's spiritual significance but also highlights Buhot's skillful interpretation through etching techniques. This piece is an exquisite representation of historical context merged with artistic mastery—a true treasure for any collector or enthusiast alike.
