EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous scene from the past, showcasing "MS Vol. 137 f. 136v The Procession of Pope Gregory I (c. 540-604) through Rome in 590". Taken from the litanies of a Book of Hours dating back to the early 16th century, this French masterpiece on vellum measures 20.9x14.2 cm and is now housed at the prestigious Sir John Soanes Museum in London. The image transports us to ancient Rome during a time of great turmoil and despair as it depicts Pope Gregory I leading a solemn procession through the city streets. The atmosphere is heavy with religious fervor and desperation as flagellants, victims of plague, are seen whipping themselves in an act of penance.

It offers us a glimpse into an era when faith was both tested and sought after amidst times of crisis. As we gaze upon this powerful image, we cannot help but be moved by its depiction of suffering intertwined with devotion. It serves as a poignant reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always hope for redemption and renewal. Courtesy Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, this remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate the intricate details and emotional depth captured within this historical piece while paying homage to its timeless significance.
