About the Item

The Shadow of Devotion: Jesuit Priest in Reflection, Plate 48, 1862 This solemn and evocative hand-colored lithograph, *The Shadow of Devotion: Jesuit Priest in Reflection,* Plate 48 from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome,* captures the contemplative stance of a Jesuit priest. Draped in the traditional black cassock and wide-brimmed hat, the figure exudes humility and dedication. His downward gaze and clasped hands suggest a moment of introspection or prayer, reflecting the intellectual and spiritual rigor that defines the Society of Jesus. The minimalistic setting, with its muted background, enhances the focus on the priest’s figure, drawing attention to the simplicity and austerity emblematic of the Jesuit order. The dark palette conveys the gravitas of the priest’s vocation and the deep commitment to faith and service. Historical Context: Founded in 1540 by Ignatius of Loyola, the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) is a Catholic religious order known for its intellectual and missionary endeavors. Members of the order take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating their lives to education, preaching, and serving the marginalized. Jesuits were instrumental in the Counter-Reformation and have a long history of fostering dialogue between cultures and advancing knowledge. Provenance: Printed by Lith. A. Lemaître, Paris, this lithograph is part of a comprehensive series showcasing the ecclesiastical costumes of the Vatican. Created by G. Perugini, the collection offers an intimate view of the diverse roles within the Church during the 19th century. This plate, with its stark composition and introspective theme, is a poignant tribute to the Jesuit order’s profound influence on Catholicism and education worldwide.
