EDITORS COMMENTS
This image is taken from Plate 7 of the portfolio 'Woodcuts from Books of the 15th Century,' assembled in 1929 by Peter Berger, Rodrigo Sánchez de Arevalo, and Wilhelm Ludwig Schreiber. The print, originating from the 15th century, depicts a significant moment in Catholicism's rich history: the installation of a bishop by a pope. The scene unfolds in a grand, ornate setting, with the pope, dressed in his papal robes and adorned with the papal tiara, bestowing his blessing upon the bishop-elect. The bishop, wearing the traditional mitre and holding a crosier, looks up in reverence as the pope places the ring and pastoral staff in his hands. The woodcut's intricate details and meticulous lettering exude the artistic mastery of the 15th century. The print is derived from 'Speculum humanae vitae' (Mirror of Human Life), a religious text that offers moral guidance and spiritual insight. The title, 'A Pope Installing a Bishop,' is inscribed in elegant letterpress at the bottom of the print, further emphasizing its historical and religious significance. This evocative image is a testament to the enduring power of art and literature in reflecting and preserving the cultural heritage of humanity. The print has been exhibited in various galleries and art institutions, including the Art Institute of Chicago, allowing generations to appreciate its beauty and historical importance.
