EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the historic moment when Pope Pius VII, having been released from his seven-year exile following Napoleon Bonaparte's defeat in the Battle of Waterloo, returns to Rome and is warmly welcomed by King Carlo Emanuele IV of Sardinia. The pope, dressed in full papal regalia, steps out of a carriage and onto the cobblestones of St. Peter's Square on March 25, 1815. With a look of relief and determination, he is greeted by the king, who bows low and kisses the pope's feet in a symbolic act of submission and loyalty. The return of Pius VII marked the end of the Napoleonic Wars and the beginning of a new chapter in Italian history. The pope, who had been held captive by the French emperor since 1809, was eager to restore the Catholic Church's power and influence in Italy. He quickly formed a reactionary government, which sought to roll back the progressive reforms that had been implemented during the French occupation. The image of the pope's feet being kissed by the king is a powerful reminder of the complex web of political alliances and power struggles that characterized European history during this period. It also highlights the enduring role of the Catholic Church in shaping Italian politics and culture, as well as the deep reverence and devotion that the people of Italy held for their spiritual leader. This print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a unique glimpse into a pivotal moment in Italian and European history, and serves as a testament to the enduring power of tradition and faith in the face of political upheaval.
