EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a portrait of Gregory the Great, a prominent figure in history. Created in 1890 by an unknown artist, this image showcases the Pope Gregory I, also known as Gregory the Great. He was not only the Bishop of Rome but is renowned for his Gregorian Mission during the 6th century. The Gregorian Mission played a significant role in converting pagan Anglo-Saxons in England to Christianity. This historic event marked a turning point in the spread of Catholicism and shaped religious practices during that time. In this oval-shaped frame, Gregory's profile is depicted with great detail. His bearded face exudes wisdom and authority while his hairstyle reflects the fashion of that era. Dressed in ornate clothing with a collar adorned with decorative patterns, he embodies both religious significance and regal stature. This monochrome engraving from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" by Edmund Ollier transports us back to medieval times. It offers us a glimpse into Italy's rich history and its influence on religion and literature. As we admire this portrait, we are reminded of St. Gregory's immense contribution to Roman Catholicism and his lasting impact on society as one of history's most influential figures.
