EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of the re-establishment of the Catholic religion in France in 1802 under Napoleon Bonaparte as First Consul. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this historical event, symbolizing a significant turning point for both France and its people. In the center of the composition stands Cardinal Caprara, his arms raised high, proudly holding aloft the cross of Christ. This powerful gesture represents the triumph of faith over adversity, as it follows the Concordat of 1801 between Pope Pius VII and Napoleon Bonaparte. Together, they agreed to restore and revive Catholicism within French society. The scene is filled with symbolism: on one side, forces representing error, envy, and atheism are being routed by lightning bolts emanating from the Church. These elements are believed to be responsible for France's misfortunes during that time period. On another side, angelic figures surround Cardinal Caprara, signifying divine intervention and protection. This allegorical representation showcases not only religious renewal but also political stability under Napoleon's leadership. It serves as a reminder that unity between church and state can bring about positive change for a nation. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from our private collection today, we are transported back to an era where faith was restored amidst challenging times—a testament to human resilience and belief in something greater than ourselves.
