1538 1584 Angel Archbishop Borromeo Cardinal Carlo Chasselat Milan Pious Praying


EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the deep piety and devotion of Carlo Borromeo (1538-1584), the illustrious Italian cardinal and archbishop of Milan. Borromeo, born in Arona on the shores of Lake Maggiore, is depicted here in prayerful contemplation, his eyes fixed on the open Bible before him. The serene expression on his face reflects his unwavering commitment to the Church and his pastoral duties. The setting of the print, with its ornate baroque decor and the ethereal presence of an angel hovering above Borromeo, underscores the otherworldly nature of the scene. The cardinal's vestments, adorned with crosses and other ecclesiastical symbols, further emphasize his sacred role within the Church. Borromeo's life was marked by numerous acts of charity and reform, particularly in the areas of education and the care of the sick. He is perhaps best known for his efforts to combat the spread of the bubonic plague in Milan during the late 16th century. Borromeo personally ministered to the sick and dying, and established hospitals and other institutions to provide care for those in need. Despite facing persecution and even imprisonment for his religious convictions, Borromeo remained steadfast in his faith. He was canonized as a saint in 1610, and is now revered as a patron saint of Milan and a model of Christian piety and leadership. This print, produced by the renowned French publisher Chasselat, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Milan and the enduring legacy of Carlo Borromeo. The image invites us to reflect on the cardinal's life and the profound impact he had on the Church and the world.
