EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable medal struck by Pope Julius III to commemorate the restoration of England to the Catholic Church in 1554. Crafted by the skilled hands of Giovanni da Cavino, this silver masterpiece now resides in a private collection, serving as a testament to an important historical event. The intricately designed medal bears the inscription "Anglia Resurges" and "England, Thou shalt rise again" symbolizing the resurgence of Catholicism within the nation. During Pope Julius III's pontificate from 1550-1555, Queen Mary Tudor reigned over England (1553-58) and played a crucial role in restoring Roman Catholic faith. In this image, we witness a woman kneeling before the pope—an early prototype of Britannia—representing England's submission to its newfound religious allegiance. Standing beside Pope Julius is Cardinal Reginald Pole, Mary Tudor's cousin and Archbishop of Canterbury during her reign. This photograph not only captures an exquisite piece of art but also serves as a window into history—a momentous occasion marked by celebration and commemoration. It highlights how religion was used as propaganda during times of reformations and emphasizes the papal influence on matters concerning faith. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant artwork for us all to appreciate today. As we delve into its details, we are reminded that beyond commercial use lies an invaluable cultural heritage worth cherishing and exploring further.
