Daden en handelingen van paus Innocentius XI 1676 - 1689

This is a detailed engraving by an anonymous artist depicting the public and solemn acts of Pope Innocent XI, dating from 1676-1689. The print is divided into eight scenes, all related to papal activities. The central scene portrays the Pope in procession, surrounded by cardinals and other dignitaries. The scenes around the central image depict other events in the Pope’s life, including his public audiences, his coronation, and his visits to churches and other important places. This engraving was made to commemorate the papacy of Pope Innocent XI, providing a visual record of his reign, and a valuable glimpse into the rituals and ceremonies surrounding the Papacy in the 17th century. The print, now in the Rijksmuseum, is an excellent example of the art of engraving and offers a historical record of the life of a significant figure in Catholic history.
