About the Item

Soeur de la Rédemption Handcolored Antique Print, Plate 76, 1862 This remarkable handcolored lithograph, titled Soeur de la Rédemption (Sister of Redemption), is Plate 76 from the 1862 second edition of Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome. Illustrated by the skilled artist G. Perugini and published in Paris by Maison Silvestre, this print portrays a member of the Sisters of Redemption, an order known for its charitable work and dedication to aiding those in need. The nun is depicted standing with a serene yet resolute expression, dressed in the traditional habit of her order. The costume features a white tunic, symbolizing purity, a black mantle signifying humility, and a headdress covering her hair as a sign of modesty. She holds a cross, reflecting her spiritual dedication and mission. This attire was specifically worn by members of this religious community, who were historically involved in assisting prisoners and the impoverished, embodying the virtue of redemption through service. The Sisters of Redemption were particularly active during the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe. Their mission continues today in various forms through modern charitable and religious organizations worldwide, though their traditional attire has evolved. The print's delicate handcoloring and meticulous details offer a vivid glimpse into the historical customs and spiritual commitments of this religious order. This lithograph is a fascinating addition to any collection of religious art or historical costume studies, providing both artistic value and insight into the history of Catholic charitable orders. **Introduction Text Translation:** A powerful interest is attached to the name of Rome, an interest even greater in the name of Christ. Rome, through its genius, the vast intelligence of its warriors, orators, and legislators, prepared the cradle where Catholicism was born, grew, developed, and established itself. The history of Catholicism is the history of this great and glorious city among all others. Virgil said in a truly prophetic verse: “To rule peoples, Roman, remember.” This prophecy received the most glorious, complete developments: all conspired for the glory of the eternal city—its history, its arts, monuments, and the religion from which everything starts and to which everything returns. Yet, no other city in the universe contains such a collection: from the monuments of Augustus' time to those of Sixtus V and Leo XII; from pagan temples to saints’ tombs and martyrs, all illustrate daily the majesty of Catholicism in its splendor. It was natural to offer the public the tableau of the splendid costumes of the Pontiffs and great dignitaries, as well as those of the humble garments of religious congregations. This is what we retrace in this Album. Amid the religious costumes, we have also included military corps contributing to the harmony of ceremonies. These figures, drawn by the skilled artist G. Perugini, are accompanied by explanatory texts derived from the works of the learned Father Hélyot. **Table of Costumes in English (selected for relevance):** - The Pope in Grand Ceremony - Cardinal in Mozzetta - Bishop in Pontifical Costume - Franciscan - Capuchin Friar - Jesuit - Reformed Redemptorist - Dominican - Ursuline - Sister of Redemption (Plate 76) This print is a window into the ceremonial and everyday life of religious communities in 19th-century Rome, making it an excellent choice for collectors and history enthusiasts alike.
