About the Item
Title: Striking 18th-Century Engraving of Papal Chronology and Symbols of the Vatican
This beautifully detailed 18th-century engraving, 'Pontificum Romanorum Series Chronologica', presents a richly symbolic depiction of the papacy. The central figure, a solemn and elaborately robed pope, dominates the composition, representing the lineage of the Roman pontiffs. Inscribed on his vestments are detailed lists of the popes, forming a chronological history of the papacy.
The engraving also features an array of important Vatican symbols. Behind the pope is St. Peter’s Basilica, while the papal tiara, crosier, and keys of St. Peter reinforce the imagery of ecclesiastical authority and continuity. On the right, a vignette of broken papal regalia and cannon alludes to the struggles and triumphs of the Church through history.
The maker of this engraving, *Pontificum Romanorum Series Chronologica*, is Matthäus Seutter, a prominent German mapmaker and engraver of the 18th century. Seutter, who worked in Augsburg, is known for his detailed and decorative maps, engravings, and allegorical works. His style often combines historical information with elaborate artistic elements, as seen in this representation of the papacy.
Created with copperplate engraving, this print exhibits exceptional craftsmanship, capturing both intricate details and bold contrasts. The hand-coloring highlights the ornate elements of the papal attire, particularly the vibrant reds, blues, and golds, making this a visually striking and historically significant piece.
This engraving serves as a valuable artifact for collectors of religious history, ecclesiastical art, or Baroque prints. Its combination of historical narrative and symbolic richness provides a compelling visual account of the Catholic Church’s legacy.
Condition: In very good condition with vibrant original hand-coloring and overall clean margins. The right margin a bit short. Paper shows minimal aging and no significant flaws.
Matting and Framing Tips:
Use acid-free matting and UV-protective glass to preserve its vibrant colors and fine details. A gold-accented or dark wood frame will enhance its Baroque aesthetic. Ensure proper spacing between the print and glass to prevent damage. Display in a controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity to maintain its pristine condition.
