Pope Pius IX, (1792-1878)
Pope Pius IX, (1792-1878). Born Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti, Pius IX was elected Pope in 1846. His pontificate was the longest of the post-apostolic era. A conservative, Pius proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception in 1854, and in 1869 convened the First Vatican Council, which declared the doctrine of papal infallibility.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed figure of Pope Pius IX, a prominent religious leader of the 19th century. Born Giovanni Maria Mastai Ferretti, he ascended to the papacy in 1846 and went on to have the longest pontificate in post-apostolic history. A staunch conservative, Pope Pius IX made significant contributions during his reign. In this engraving from "The Life & Times of Queen Victoria" by Robert Wilson, we see Pope Pius IX donning traditional Catholic attire - a cassock and headgear that symbolize his high position within the Church. His dignified presence exudes authority and wisdom as he gazes into the distance. Pope Pius IX's legacy is marked by two major events that shaped Catholic doctrine. In 1854, he proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, affirming Mary's conception without original sin. Additionally, in 1869, he convened the First Vatican Council where papal infallibility was declared as an official doctrine. This portrait not only showcases Pope Pius IX but also offers insight into Italian culture and religion during this era. It serves as a reminder of his influential role within Roman Catholicism and highlights his dedication to upholding traditional values amidst changing times. As an illustration from The Print Collector collection curated by Unknown (creator) and Robert Wilson, it provides us with a glimpse into history while honoring one of Christianity's most notable figures – Pope Pius IX
