Item description

Beautiful Italian antique oil painting on canvas. Excellent painterly quality and great attention to detail. 19th century Italian school. Unsigned. Religious painting, portrait of Pope Leo XIII. Sold with antique frame. Pope Leo XIII ( Carpineto Romano, 2 March 1810 - Rome, 20 July 1903) was the 256th Bishop of Rome and Pope of the Catholic Church from 3 March 1878 until his death. He is remembered in the history of the popes of modern times as a pontiff who considered that the Church's tasks also included pastoral activity in the socio-political field. If with him there was no promulgation of further dogmas after the dogma of papal infallibility solemnly proclaimed by the First Vatican Council, he is nevertheless remembered as the pope of encyclicals: he wrote no less than 86 of them, with the aim of overcoming the isolation in which the Holy See had found itself after the loss of temporal power with the Unification of Italy.
