Paus Gregorius VII 1823 - 1900

"Paus Gregorius VII" is a lithograph created by Johann Wilhelm Kaiser between 1823 and 1900. It depicts a scene of Pope Gregory VII receiving the homage of a kneeling man in a church setting. Kaiser, a German artist, used the technique of lithography, known for its ability to reproduce details, in this work, which is now housed in the Rijksmuseum. This artwork offers insight into the historical figures of the 11th century and their complex relationship during a period of significant religious change.
