EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing and enigmatic print, titled "Pope Embraced by the Devil," dates back to the 18th century and is attributed to the British artist John Hamilton Mortimer. The artwork, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the striking contrast between good and evil, as depicted by the Pope and the Devil. The Pope, dressed in full regalia, including a mitre, bishop's crook, and pastoral staff, stands with a look of surprise and disbelief as the Devil, disguised as a bishop with a crooked bishop's crook and a pitchfork instead of a pastoral staff, embraces him. The Devil's mask reveals his true identity, while the Pope's face remains expressionless. The monochrome drawing, executed in pen and brown ink over graphite on grayish cream laid paper laid down on cream wove paper perimeter mounted on tan wove paper, measures approximately 11 x 8 inches. The use of sepia tones adds to the print's aged and timeless quality. The concept of the Pope being embraced by the Devil is a common theme in Christian art, representing the ongoing battle between good and evil. The image challenges the viewer to consider the complexities of religion and morality, and the potential for temptation and deception, even within the highest echelons of the Church. Despite the unknown origin of this print, its intriguing subject matter and masterful execution make it a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focusing on religious or historical themes.
