EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 9th century when Pope Adrien II held immense power and authority within the Catholic Church. The image depicts a significant moment as the Pope hands over a bubble of excommunication to one of his legates, signifying the severe punishment being imposed upon Lord Normand. The engraving, found in an old publication titled "History of the Popes" showcases the intricate details and craftsmanship of an unknown artist from the 19th century. It is now part of a private collection, offering us a glimpse into this historical event. This photograph by Leonard de Selva captures not only religious symbolism but also highlights elements such as Christian clergy, Catholicism, and Christianity itself. It serves as a reminder of how religion played a crucial role in shaping society during that era. As we delve into this piece, we can't help but ponder on themes like religious orders, Vatican politics, and even medieval life. The medium age setting adds another layer to our understanding of history and its impact on various aspects of society. Overall, this print invites us to reflect on the power dynamics between spiritual leaders and secular figures during ancient times while appreciating both its artistic value and historical significance.
