EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as Pope Gregory IX bestows the Decretals upon an advocate of the Consistory. The image, taken from Paul Lacroix's book "Military and Religious Life in the Middle Ages" showcases a lithograph created by a French School artist in the 19th century. In this scene, Pope Gregory IX (c. 1170-1241), adorned with his papal crown and tiara, is depicted graciously handing over the Decretals to an advocate of the Consistory. This symbolic act represents the transfer of ecclesiastical law and authority within the Catholic Church during medieval times. The inspiration for this artwork comes from a fresco painted by Raphael (1483-1520) at Vatican City. Raphael's original masterpiece can be found within its hallowed walls, making this lithograph even more remarkable as it allows us to appreciate its beauty beyond those privileged enough to visit. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the 13th century when religious power held immense influence over society. The intricate details captured by both Raphael and later reproduced through lithography showcase not only their artistic prowess but also provide us with valuable insights into medieval life. This print serves as a testament to our fascination with history and artistry while reminding us of how religion played a pivotal role in shaping societies throughout time.
