1852 Bearded Habit Kneel Kneeling Miter Papal Pope Year
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting colored engraving depicts Pope Saint Leo I (390-461), a prominent figure in the early Christian Church and the 41st Pope of the Roman Catholic Church. Born in Italy during the 5th century, Leo I was a soldier before he was ordained a priest and later became Pope in 440 AD. His pontificate was marked by significant achievements, including the restoration of the Lateran Palace and the rebuilding of the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Leo I is shown here in his papal attire, wearing a miter and a red papal habit, with a cross in his right hand and a pastoral staff in his left. He is depicted in a kneeling position, in prayer or in blessing, surrounded by a crowd of people, symbolizing his spiritual connection with the faithful. The engraving, created by the Italian artist Cibera in 1852, captures the essence of Leo I's piety, wisdom, and leadership. The image is a testament to the historical significance of Pope Leo I and the enduring influence of the Catholic Church in the 19th century. The engraving's vibrant colors add a contemporary touch to the ancient scene, making it a captivating work of art that continues to inspire and intrigue viewers.
