EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of the Coronation of Pope Leon XIII (Leone) in the magnificent Sistine Chapel. The year was 1878, and as depicted in this engraving from "Le Monde Illustre" a cardinal is seen placing the papal tiara on Pope Leon XIII's head. The atmosphere is filled with reverence and anticipation as this significant ritual takes place. The image showcases the grandeur and solemnity of the event, highlighting both religious and historical significance. It offers a glimpse into a bygone era when such ceremonies held immense importance for both clergy and believers alike. The Sistine Chapel serves as an awe-inspiring backdrop to this momentous occasion, its iconic frescoes adding to the sense of sacredness that permeates throughout. The black-and-white composition further enhances the timeless quality of this snapshot from history. Pope Leon XIII himself was a notable figure, serving as pontiff from 1878 until his death in 1903. His coronation marked a new chapter in Catholicism, making this image all the more meaningful for those interested in religious history. Preserved within private collections today, Stefano Bianchetti's engraving allows us to witness firsthand an extraordinary event that unfolded over a century ago. It serves as a testament to faith, tradition, and human connection with something greater than ourselves – elements that continue to resonate even today.
