EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Pope Gregory VII, a prominent figure in history. The image, dating back to 1890, showcases the pope's dignified presence and profound influence during his papacy from 1073 until his passing in 1085. Pope Gregory VII played a significant role in the Investiture Controversy, a power struggle between the papacy and secular rulers over who had authority to appoint bishops. His unwavering stance on this matter earned him both admiration and opposition within the Catholic Church. The portrait portrays Pope Gregory VII wearing his iconic mitre, symbolizing his high rank as head of the Roman Catholic Church. With an air of wisdom and determination etched onto his face, he exudes strength and conviction. This engraving is taken from "Cassells Illustrated Universal History" a renowned publication by Edmund Ollier that delves into various aspects of human civilization throughout time. It serves as a testament to Pope Gregory VII's enduring legacy within medieval Christianity. As we gaze upon this historic artwork, we are transported back to an era where religion held immense sway over society. This monochrome depiction reminds us of the influential figures who shaped our world centuries ago.
