EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving by Capuz, Saint Damasus I, the Roman Pope from the 4th century, is depicted in a seated position, exuding an aura of divine wisdom and authority. The saint, dressed in the traditional robes and miter of the papacy, holds a book in one hand and a quill in the other, symbolizing his role as a teacher and writer. His beard, now mostly white, frames his face, adding to his distinguished appearance. A halo encircles his head, signifying his sainthood and connection to the divine. Saint Damasus I, born in Rome around 304 AD, served as Pope from 366 to 384 AD. He is remembered for his significant contributions to the religious and cultural life of Rome during a time of great upheaval. Damasus is believed to have commissioned the creation of numerous inscriptions and monuments throughout the city, including the famous inscription on the Arch of Constantine. He also played a crucial role in the development of Latin literature, commissioning works by prominent writers such as Prudentius and Ausonius. This beautifully colored engraving, which originated in Portugal and is now available through Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the historical significance and revered status of Saint Damasus I as a key figure in the early Christian Church. The image of the saint, with his serious expression, steady gaze, and regal bearing, serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of religious leaders throughout history.
