EDITORS COMMENTS
This color engraving from 1871 offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Pontifical ceremonies in Vatican City during the 19th century. The print showcases Cardinals engaging in the sacred ritual of pedilavium, or foot washing, an integral part of Catholicism's rich history and tradition. In this horizontal composition, we witness a private moment within the hallowed walls of the Church as Cardinals gather around to cleanse their feet under the watchful eye of Pope Pius IX. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the ornate vestments worn by each Cardinal to the intricate designs adorning the surroundings. The image not only captures a religious ceremony but also serves as a historical document that transports us back in time. It allows us to appreciate both the significance and solemnity associated with these rituals performed by high-ranking members of clergy. This particular print is part of a private collection and was skillfully created by Santiago Ortega, whose attention to detail brings out every nuance in this scene. As we delve into its intricacies, we are reminded of how art can provide insights into cultural practices and beliefs that have shaped societies throughout centuries. Whether you are fascinated by religious customs or simply intrigued by history itself, this remarkable engraving offers an opportunity for reflection on faith, tradition, and human connection with something greater than ourselves.
