Vignet met het wapen van paus Pius IX 1846 - 1912

"Vignet met het wapen van paus Pius IX" is a detailed engraving by Isaac Weissenbruch, created between 1846 and 1912, depicting the coat of arms of Pope Pius IX. The engraving shows a classic heraldic design featuring a shield with a striped pattern, surmounted by a papal tiara, and two keys tied with ribbons, representing the keys of Saint Peter. The motto "Pax Vobis" ("Peace Be With You") is prominently displayed on a ribbon. This small work, measuring only 71mm by 81mm, is now housed in the Rijksmuseum, providing a glimpse into the symbolic language of papal heraldry during the 19th century.
