Ettore Ascenzi
was a well known Italian artist of figural subjects who worked in Rome between 1870 and 1908. In the 1870s he entered the prestigious Accademia di San Luca in Rome. His works were primarily on Historical subjects and Roman Views. He specialised in painting interior scenes, Cardinals and portraits, and also worked in water colours. He is well known for his lively and colourful works.
Cardinals in red.
A later, pious explanation led to today's understanding that the cardinals wear scarlet red as an outward sign of their willingness to shed their blood in defense of the Catholic faith. The purple worn by bishops today is not a true purple, but rather a magenta color.
