Handcolored Lithograph of Évêque Arménien (Armenian Bishop), Plate 15, 1862

About the Item

Handcolored Lithograph of Évêque Arménien (Armenian Bishop), Plate 15, 1862 This exquisite handcolored lithograph depicts an Évêque Arménien (Armenian Bishop) and is Plate 15 from the renowned 1862 *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* by G. Perugini. The bishop is adorned in elaborate ecclesiastical robes reflecting the traditions of the Armenian Apostolic Church, with a voluminous dark-blue cloak and pink stole draped over his chest. The bishop holds a book or prayer scroll, symbolizing his devotion to scripture and prayer. His tall headdress, a distinctive feature of the Armenian clergy, emphasizes his rank and the rich cultural heritage of the Armenian Church, one of the oldest Christian communities. The deep hues of the garments, along with the intricate details of the folds, convey both the dignity and solemnity of his office. Historical Context: The Armenian Apostolic Church traces its origins to the 1st century AD and is considered one of the earliest Christian denominations. Bishops within this church hold significant religious and cultural authority, often serving as spiritual leaders and guardians of Armenian heritage. The depicted attire reflects the rich symbolism and tradition preserved in Armenian clerical dress, combining elements of Byzantine, Eastern, and local influences. This lithograph serves as a vital historical representation of 19th-century ecclesiastical dress within the Armenian Apostolic Church, highlighting its uniqueness among the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions documented in this collection. Provenance: Published in Paris by L’Aubert and Lemoine, this work is part of a comprehensive series capturing the diversity of clerical and ceremonial attire from various religious and cultural traditions associated with the Roman Catholic Church and beyond. A perfect addition for collectors interested in ecclesiastical art, Christian history, or the cultural heritage of Armenia.
