Benediction Coronation Pius Pope Sedia
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the coronation of Pope Pius XII, the new Roman Catholic Pope, as he is carried through St. Peter's Square on the Sedia Gestatoria, the papal throne carried on the shoulders of cardinals and other high-ranking clergy, on March 2, 1939. Pius XII, born Eugenio Pacelli, assumed the papacy following the death of Pope Pius XI. Dressed in the traditional papal robes, adorned with jewels and holding a jeweled mitre in his left hand, Pius XII raises his right hand in blessing as he makes his way to the basilica for his coronation. The Sedia Gestatoria, a symbol of the papal power and authority, has been used in papal processions since the 15th century. The coronation ceremony, which included the placement of the papal tiara on Pius XII's head and the presentation of the papal staff and ring, marked the formal beginning of his papacy. Pius XII's papacy, which lasted from 1939 to 1958, was marked by significant events in world history, including World War II and the establishment of the State of Israel. He is remembered for his diplomatic efforts to maintain peace and prevent the spread of communism, as well as his role in the development of the modern papacy and the Roman Catholic Church. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the rich history of the papacy and the significance of the coronation ceremony in the life of a new pope. With its striking composition and historical importance, it is a valuable addition to any collection of religious or historical imagery.
