EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as "The Pilgrims Meet Pope Cyriac before the Walls of Rome, from the St. Ursula Cycle" comes to life. Painted by Vittore Carpaccio in 1498, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 281x307 cm and is currently housed at the Galleria dell Accademia in Venice, Italy. In this scene, we witness a grand procession outside Castel Sant'Angelo where pilgrims have gathered to meet Pope Cyriac. The clergy and Italian nobility are present, adorned in their finest garments and carrying church banners. The bishop stands tall with his mitre while monks kneel in prayerful reverence. Legend has it that these pilgrims are part of the St. Ursula Cycle, a series of paintings depicting the life of Saint Ursula and her companions who embarked on a holy pilgrimage to Rome. This particular painting showcases their encounter with Pope Cyriac before entering the walls of Rome. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as gifts and donations are presented to His Holiness by both pilgrims and members of the clergy. Carpaccio's attention to detail brings every figure to life, capturing their expressions of awe and devotion. As we gaze upon this Renaissance masterpiece, we can't help but be transported back in time - witnessing an extraordinary meeting between faith and power within the historic city walls of Rome itself.
