EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking engraving, we behold the intense and resolute visage of Pope Pius V (1504-1572), born Antonio Ghisilieri, who ruled as the Bishop of Rome and leader of the global Catholic Church from 1566 until his death in 1572. The portrait, colored and meticulously detailed, captures the profound gravity and unwavering conviction that defined Pius V's papacy. Born in the small Italian town of Bosco in Lombardy, Ghisilieri entered the Dominican Order and rose through the ranks to become a cardinal in 1549. In 1566, he was elected Pope, assuming the name Pius V, and embarked on a mission to reform the Catholic Church and strengthen its position in Europe during the tumultuous 16th century. Pius V is best known for convening the Council of Trent (1545-1563), the 19th ecumenical council of the Catholic Church, which addressed various issues that had arisen within the Church, including the reform of liturgy and theology, and the condemnation of Protestant doctrines. The Council marked the beginning of the Counter-Reformation, a period of renewed emphasis on traditional Catholic practices and teachings. This powerful portrait of Pius V, with its intricate engraving and vibrant colors, serves as a testament to the enduring influence of this remarkable figure in European history. His unwavering commitment to the Catholic faith and his efforts to restore its authority in the face of religious and political upheaval continue to resonate in the modern age, making him a revered saint and an essential figure in the annals of the papacy.
