EDITORS COMMENTS
The solemn inauguration of the pontificate is beautifully captured in this historic print titled "Adoration of the Pope on the Great Altar of St. Peter, Vatican". The image showcases a momentous occasion where worshippers gather to pay homage to the newly appointed pope. Engraved by Bernard Picart between 1723 and 1743, this artwork is part of his renowned series "Illustration of religious ceremonies and customs of all the peoples of the world". It provides a glimpse into one of Catholicism's most sacred rituals, highlighting the significance and reverence bestowed upon the pope. The scene depicts an elaborate ceremony taking place at St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The grandeur and splendor are evident as clergy members surround the great altar while faithful followers kneel in adoration before their spiritual leader. The atmosphere exudes a sense of awe and devotion that transcends time. This engraving not only captures a specific moment but also serves as a testament to centuries-old traditions within Christianity. It symbolizes unity among believers, emphasizing their unwavering faith in God and their commitment to upholding religious customs. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded of the profound impact religion has had on human history. It invites us to reflect on our own beliefs and appreciate how they connect us with something greater than ourselves – be it through ritual, community, or spirituality.
