About the Item

Priest of the Minims Order: A Glimpse into Monastic Devotion, Plate 51 This finely detailed 19th-century lithograph showcases a priest of the Order of Minims, an austere religious order founded by St. Francis of Paola in the 15th century. The priest is portrayed in a simple black habit, symbolic of humility and self-denial, with the folds of the fabric skillfully rendered to emphasize the order's minimalist ethos. His calm expression and open gesture invite the viewer into the serene and contemplative world of the Minims. The lithograph’s muted tones and precise detailing lend a timeless quality to the figure, highlighting the understated yet profound presence of these devout individuals. Historical Context: The Order of Minims is one of the Catholic Church’s most ascetic orders, with vows including perpetual abstinence from meat, dairy, and eggs. Founded in 1435 in Italy, its members dedicated themselves to prayer, humility, and service, with their lifestyle reflecting the spiritual ideals of self-sacrifice and devotion. Provenance: This artwork, lithographed by A. Lemaître in Paris and designed by G. Perugini, belongs to the celebrated *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome.* Plate 51 stands as a tribute to the quiet yet influential lives of the Minims, whose contributions to faith and society have left an indelible mark.
