EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant historical moment as Pope Benedict XIV presents the Encyclical Ex Omnibus to the esteemed Comte de Stainville, later known as Duc de Choiseul. Painted by Pompeo Girolamo Batoni in 1757, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 128.9x179.3 cm and is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Pope Benedict XIV, born Prospero Lorenzo Lambertini, served as Pope from 1740 until his passing in 1758. In this scene, he is depicted in all his regal splendor and spiritual authority, seated upon an ornate throne under a celestial canopy. Surrounding him are angels and cherubs symbolizing divine presence and heavenly blessings. The recipient of the encyclical, Etienne-François de Stainville, was a distinguished French military officer turned diplomat and statesman. This meeting between two influential figures represents the intersection of religious leadership and political power during that era. Batoni's neoclassical style beautifully captures the grandeur of this ceremonial event with meticulous attention to detail. The painting showcases elements such as intricate architecture, formal attire adorned with regalia, and serene saints observing from above. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are transported back to a time when diplomacy intertwined with spirituality—a testament to both human ambition and divine guidance.
