EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a significant historical event - the obsequies of Pope Sixtus V, held on August 27,1591 in Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome. The print, created by Giovanni Maggi in 16--, beautifully captures the grandeur and solemnity of this occasion. The focal point of the image is the catafalque designed by Domenico Fontana. This elaborate structure served as a temporary monument to honor Pope Sixtus V during his funeral rites. Etched with meticulous detail, Maggi's print allows us to admire Fontana's architectural prowess and intricate craftsmanship. As we delve into this visual masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness the awe-inspiring scene that unfolded within Santa Maria Maggiore. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and grief as mourners pay their respects to the departed pontiff. Maggi's etching expertly conveys both the scale and emotion of this momentous event. Through careful shading and composition, he captures not only the physical aspects of Fontana's catafalque but also its symbolic significance as a representation of mourning for an esteemed leader. This print serves as a poignant reminder of history's rich tapestry and invites us to reflect upon the legacy left behind by Pope Sixtus V. It stands as a testament to human creativity, devotion, and remembrance - elements that transcend time itself.
