EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking portrait captures Mathieu Schinner, a prominent Swiss figure in the Catholic Church during the Renaissance era. Born around 1465, Schinner rose through the ranks to become a cardinal, a legate of Pope Julius II, and eventually the Bishop of Sion. Schinner's life intersected with some of the most significant events and personalities of the time. He served as a papal legate during the papal schism, a period of religious turmoil when there were two popes claiming the throne of St. Peter. Schinner's diplomatic skills helped to bring about the eventual end of the schism and the election of Julius II as the undisputed pope in 1503. As a cardinal, Schinner played a role in the Council of Pisa, which aimed to resolve the schism. He also participated in the Fifth Lateran Council, where important reforms were discussed and initiated in the Catholic Church. The image of Schinner depicts him in the robes of a cardinal, with a serious expression and a fur-trimmed hat, or galero, signifying his high rank. The portrait underscores the grandeur and importance of the Catholic Church during the Renaissance, as well as the pivotal role that individuals like Schinner played in shaping its history. Mathieu Schinner's legacy extends beyond his ecclesiastical achievements. He was also a patron of the arts, supporting artists such as Albrecht Dürer and Hans Holbein the Younger. This portrait, a testament to his influence and status, offers a glimpse into the rich history of the Catholic Church during the Renaissance era.
