About the Item

Sa Sainteté Recevant (His Holiness Receiving), Plate 3, 1862 This hand-colored lithograph, 'Sa Sainteté Recevant' (His Holiness Receiving), Plate 3 from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* by G. Perugini, depicts the Pope seated on a gilded ceremonial throne. The image captures the moment of the pontiff receiving visitors, with his hand extended in a gesture of blessing or acknowledgment, symbolizing the central role of the Pope as the spiritual leader of the Catholic Church. The Pope is adorned in regal papal attire, including a rich crimson mozzetta lined with ermine and an ornate gold-embroidered stole. His layered vestments, meticulously rendered, reflect the gravity of his office and the grandeur of the papal court. The throne, with its intricate gold detailing, further underscores the solemnity and authority of his position. Historical Context: This lithograph portrays the Pope's ceremonial role as a symbol of divine authority and spiritual guidance. The attire and setting signify the elaborate protocols and traditions of the papal court in the 19th century. The Pope's role in receiving visitors, whether dignitaries or pilgrims, reflects the Vatican's dual spiritual and diplomatic functions during this era. Provenance: Published in Paris by L’Aubert and Lemoine, this work is part of a larger collection illustrating the ecclesiastical and ceremonial costumes of the Catholic Church. This lithograph is a remarkable example of 19th-century printmaking, capturing the intricate details of religious attire and ceremonial practices, making it highly sought after by collectors and historians of religious art and costume history. An exquisite addition for anyone with an interest in Catholic history or historical depictions of the papacy.
