Smart and Kahlmann, this stately composition depicts Pope Pius IX seated upon his throne at the center of the First Vatican Council. Members of the Catholic clergy are arranged in solemn ranks to his left and right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConvened on December 8, 1869, the council drew nearly seven hundred bishops, cardinals, patriarchs, and abbots from around the world to the northern transept of St. Peter's Basilica. It was the first ecumenical gathering of the Catholic Church in three centuries, following the Council of Trent which adjourned in 1563.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe council's most consequential achievement was its formal definition of papal infallibility in July 1870, declaring that the pope speaks with supreme authority on matters of faith and doctrine. Just two months later, Italian forces captured Rome and the council was adjourned indefinitely by papal decree.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis reproduction provides insight into a pivotal moment when the Catholic Church defined its spiritual authority even as its temporal power crumbled before the forces of Italian unification. Considered among the most significant religious prints of the era, it brings historical gravitas to any office, study, or library.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Historic Prints","offers":[{"title":"8x10 Inch","offer_id":48349719855293,"sku":"ENPM0489_0810L","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14 Inch","offer_id":48349719888061,"sku":"ENPM0489_1114L","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16x20 Inch","offer_id":48349719920829,"sku":"ENPM0489_1620L","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24 Inch","offer_id":48349719953597,"sku":"ENPM0489_1824L","price":67.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30 Inch","offer_id":48349719986365,"sku":"ENPM0489_2430L","price":89.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0504\/5459\/3725\/files\/1--3eCO2uhVpn-uZraw0vwdQt9K9fFarV_w1000.jpg?v=1788107529","url":"https:\/\/historicprints.com\/es\/products\/1870-vatican-council-print","provider":"Historic Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
