Angelo Correr Gregory Pope 15th
EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting engraving depicts Gregory XII, born Angelo Correr or Corraro, who reigned as Pope from 1406 to 1415. Hailing from Venice, Italy, in the 15th century, this Italian prelate ascended to the papal throne during a tumultuous period in the history of the Catholic Church. Gregory XII is renowned for his efforts to end the Great Schism, a divisive period in which there were multiple claimants to the papal throne. In an attempt to resolve this crisis, Gregory convened the Council of Constance in 1414, which led to the election of Martin V as the new Pope in 1417. The image captures the Pope in regal attire, with a papal tiara adorning his head and a papal mantle draped over his shoulders. His expression is serene and thoughtful, reflecting the wisdom and leadership required to navigate the complex political and religious landscape of the time. The use of vibrant colors in this engraving further enhances the image, adding depth and richness to the portrait. As the head of the Catholic Church during this pivotal era, Gregory XII played a crucial role in shaping the religious and political landscape of Europe. His legacy continues to be celebrated for his role in bringing the Church out of the Great Schism and restoring unity to the faithful. This engraving serves as a testament to the enduring significance of Gregory XII's reign and his contributions to the history of the Catholic Church.
