1492 1503 Alexander Benediction Borgia Catholicism Cesare Lucrezia Pope Pronouncing Roderigo
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, Pope Alexander VI, born Roderigo Borgia, extends his hand in blessing as he bestows a Benediction upon the faithful. Elected Pope in 1492, Alexander VI was the head of the Catholic Church during a tumultuous period in its history. Known for his worldly ambitions and political machinations, Alexander VI was also the father of two infamous children: Cesare Borgia and Lucrezia Borgia. The year was 1503, and the scene unfolds in the grandeur of the Sistine Chapel, the papal basilica in Vatican City. The Pope, dressed in his papal robes and adorned with the tiara, sits upon the throne, his expression serene and paternal as he imparts his spiritual guidance to the crowd before him. In the foreground, the young Lucrezia Borgia, her beauty already a source of intrigue and gossip, gazes up at her father with reverence and devotion. By her side, Cesare Borgia, the future Duke of Romagna, stands tall and proud, his eyes fixed on the Pope with unwavering loyalty. Despite the controversies that surrounded his papacy, Alexander VI remained a powerful and influential figure in the Catholic Church. His reign saw the completion of the Sistine Chapel, the establishment of the Borgia family as a major political force, and the expansion of the papal states. This image captures a moment of spiritual connection between father and children, a reminder of the complex and multifaceted role of the Pope in the lives of the faithful during this pivotal moment in history.
