EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures the historic moment of "The Coronation of Leo XIII" in the majestic Sistine Chapel. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases a significant event in papal history. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured as an illustration for The Pictorial World on March 16,1878. In this scene, we witness the grandeur and solemnity of Pope Leo XIII's coronation ceremony. The Sistine Chapel serves as a breathtaking backdrop with its iconic frescoes painted by Michelangelo. As rays of sunlight filter through the stained glass windows, they illuminate the ornate details and vibrant colors adorning the chapel walls. Pope Leo XIII stands at the center stage, resplendent in his regalia, surrounded by cardinals and clergy members who bear witness to this momentous occasion. His expression reflects both reverence and humility as he receives his sacred crown from one of his attendants. This engraving not only commemorates an important historical event but also offers us a glimpse into religious traditions that have spanned centuries. It allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty within the Sistine Chapel and its significance as a place where popes are crowned. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one of Catholicism's most cherished rituals – forever captured for our admiration and contemplation.
