EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the historic Conclave of 1878, offering a rare glimpse into the interior of the magnificent Sistine Chapel. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation as cardinals gather to cast their votes for the successor of Pope Pius IX. The image showcases the grandeur and solemnity of this sacred space, with its iconic frescoes adorning every inch of the chapel's ceiling and walls. Rays of light filter through high windows, illuminating the scene below where cardinals are seated in rows, deep in contemplation. Each cardinal's face reveals a mix of determination, hope, and perhaps even anxiety as they fulfill their duty to elect a new leader for the Catholic Church. Their distinctive red robes create a striking contrast against the neutral tones surrounding them. Stefano Bianchetti skillfully captures this pivotal moment in history, allowing us to witness an event that shaped not only Vatican City but also had far-reaching implications for millions around the world. It serves as a reminder of both tradition and change within an institution deeply rooted in history. This engraving from "Le Monde Illustre" offers us an invaluable window into a significant chapter in papal history – one that resulted in Leon XIII ascending to become Pope Pius IX's successor. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but feel connected to those who participated in this important conclave over 140 years ago.
