This engraving by the Monogrammist ARZ, created after 1585, depicts Alexander V, an antipope who reigned from 1409 to 1410. The portrait is rendered in profile, showcasing the antipope's distinctive features and papal attire, including a mitre and papal stole. The image offers a glimpse into the complex political and religious landscape of the early 15th century and the contentious figure of Alexander V. This historical engraving is a valuable source of information for art historians and those interested in the history of the Papacy, as well as a testament to the skill of the Monogrammist ARZ.
