1833 Cardinal Cardinale Every Day Abito
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the essence of a Cardinal in Everyday Dress, or "abito ordinario," as it was known in 1833. The Cardinal, a high-ranking member of the Catholic Church, is depicted in a simple, understated outfit that contrasts sharply with the grandeur and opulence often associated with the clergy. The Cardinal's attire consists of a black cassock, a white shirt, and a red cape, known as a "mantella," draped over his shoulders. The cassock, a long, ankle-length garment, is made of wool or silk and is worn as a sign of humility and penance. The white shirt, or "camisia," is also made of fine fabric and is worn next to the skin. The mantella, a symbol of the Cardinal's rank, is adorned with fringes and tassels and is worn only during public appearances. Despite his simple appearance, the Cardinal's authority and spiritual power are palpable. His piercing gaze and stern expression convey a sense of wisdom and gravitas, while the intricately designed mitre and ring on his head and finger, respectively, serve as reminders of his sacred duties and responsibilities. This photograph offers a rare glimpse into the everyday life of a Cardinal, providing a fascinating insight into the history and traditions of the Catholic Church. The image, taken in 1833, is a testament to the enduring power and influence of the Church, as well as the reverence and respect afforded to its most senior members.
