This anonymous, circular engraving from 1685-1720 features a profile portrait of Pope Pelagius I in the center surrounded by a ring of text. The text lists the names of popes with their respective reign years, creating a visual timeline of the papacy. This artwork provides a glimpse into the historical interest in documenting and understanding the lineage of the Catholic Church, a topic that would have held significant cultural and religious meaning in the 17th and 18th centuries.
