EDITORS COMMENTS
A solemn moment in time is captured in this exquisite pen and ink drawing by Giovanni Battista della Rovere. The Appointment of the Blessed Alessandro Sauli as Superior General of the Barnabites, dated to 1610-1624, depicts a pivotal event in the history of this Catholic religious order. In a gesture of reverence and respect, Alessandro Sauli kneels before his superior general, receiving the blessing and appointment with humility and devotion. The artist's masterful use of pen and brown ink on blue-gray paper creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer into the intimate scene. The subtle play between light and shadow adds texture to the figures' robes, while Sauli's gentle kiss on his superior general's hand conveys a deep sense of reverence. This rare 17th-century artwork is not only a testament to della Rovere's skill as an artist but also provides valuable insight into the spiritual practices and traditions of the Barnabite order. As part of Heritage Images, this print offers a unique opportunity for art lovers and historians alike to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historical moment.
