EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Pope Leo III, who reigned from 795 to 816. The image is a hand-coloured engraving from the "Receuil des Estampes, representant les Rangs et les Dignites, suivant le Costume de toutes les Nations existantes" published in 1780 by Pierre Duflos. It is part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. In this full-length portrait, Pope Leo III exudes authority and grace. He stands tall and regal, adorned in his ceremonial robes that symbolize his prestigious position as a prelate of the Carolingian era. His head is crowned with a magnificent mitre, signifying his spiritual leadership within the Catholic Church. The pope holds a set of keys in one hand, representing the power bestowed upon him to unlock heaven's gates for believers. This imagery alludes to Saint Peter and highlights the papacy's role as the successor to Christ's apostle. Notably, this engraving captures an important historical moment when Charlemagne was crowned emperor by Pope Leo III on Christmas Day in 800 AD. This event marked a significant turning point in European history and solidified the close relationship between church and state during this period. With its meticulous detail and vibrant colors brought forth through hand-coloring techniques, this print offers viewers an intimate glimpse into the world of Pope Leo III and serves as a testament to both artistic skill and historical significance.
