EDITORS COMMENTS

Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 20th century, this artwork is part of a private collection. The subject of the portrait, Guglielmo Massaia (1809-89), was not only a Capuchin monk but also a cardinal. The image itself is based on a 19th-century illustration and beautifully captures Massaia's religious devotion and serene demeanor. His long beard adds to his wise and venerable appearance, symbolizing his commitment to his faith.

This engraving provides viewers with an intimate glimpse into the life of this remarkable man who devoted himself entirely to serving others through religion. It serves as both a historical document and an artistic representation of faith. Ken Welsh's expert reproduction ensures that this piece retains its original charm while being accessible for art enthusiasts worldwide.
