Portret van paus Alexander VII 1655 - 1676

Theodor Matham's engraving, *Portret van paus Alexander VII*, depicts Pope Alexander VII in an oval frame. The image features the Pope in full papal attire, looking directly at the viewer, with the dome of St. Peter's Basilica visible in the background. Two cherubs adorn the bottom of the frame with a coat of arms and a Latin inscription. Created between 1655 and 1676, the engraving exemplifies the Baroque style, capturing the grandeur of the papacy and the beauty of Rome.
