EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "The Tragic End of Lorenzo Ricci, the Italian General of the Jesuits". Lorenzo Ricci (1703-1775), an esteemed Italian general of the Society of Jesus, is depicted in this evocative print, which captures the melancholic atmosphere surrounding his final days. The Jesuits, an influential Catholic religious order, were under intense scrutiny and widespread attack during the late 18th century. Despite Ricci's personal qualities and unwavering dedication to his faith, he found himself ensnared in the political and religious turmoil that ultimately led to his imprisonment. The year was 1773 when Pope Clement XIV, under immense pressure from European powers, issued the brief "Dominus ac Redemptor," which suppressed the Jesuit Order. Ricci, who had served as the Order's Provincial of Lombardy, was among the many Jesuits arrested and taken to the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, where he would spend the remaining years of his life. The image of Lorenzo Ricci, with his somber expression and the ominous Castel Sant'Angelo in the background, symbolizes the tragic end of a man who dedicated his life to the Jesuit Order and the Catholic Church. Despite the challenging circumstances, Ricci's faith remained unwavering, and he continued to minister to his fellow prisoners. He passed away in 1775, leaving behind a legacy that continues to inspire and intrigue scholars and history enthusiasts. This poignant print serves as a reminder of the complexities and challenges faced by religious figures during this period in history, and the enduring power of faith and resilience in the face of adversity.
