Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti, better known as Pope Pius IX (1792-1878), was a prominent figure in Italian history. He served as the head of the Catholic Church from 1846 until his death and played a significant role during a time of great political and social change. In 1861, an illustration titled "The Real Italian Brigand Chief" depicted Pius IX amidst the turmoil of that era. This portrayal reflects the challenges he faced as Italy underwent unification efforts. Despite being seen by some as an obstacle to progress, Pius IX remained steadfast in his beliefs. A colored engraving from around 1876 showcases Pope Pius IX's dignified presence. The artist, Ludovico Tuminello, captured his regal aura and unwavering commitment to his faith. Another image from the mid-late 19th century by AH Payne portrays Pope Pius IX with depth and intensity. It highlights his influential role during this transformative period in Italy's history. Felix Hilaire Buhot's artwork from 1946 depicts Pope Pius IX against a backdrop of Rome, emphasizing his connection to the Eternal City. This piece serves as a reminder of his lasting impact on both religious and secular spheres. Pope Pius IX found eternal rest at the Basilica of St Lawrence in Rome where he was laid to rest in 1910. His tomb stands as a testament to his enduring legacy within Catholicism. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori is another notable figure associated with this era; he lived between 1696-1787. A photograph taken around the early twentieth century captures him alongside images related to Pope Pius IX, highlighting their shared influence on Catholicism during different periods. Chiassi's artistic representation from 1900 showcases Pope Pius IX surrounded by symbols representing various aspects of Catholicism – an homage to his dedication towards the Church.
