Portrait of Pope Pius VII
View through Europeana Collections
In May 1819 Lawrence travelled to Rome to paint the portraits of Pope Pius VII and his secretary Cardinal Consalvi. Lawrence did not have high expectations, but the pope nevertheless made a great impression on him. The likeness of the elderly, frail Pius VII is a milestone in Lawrence’s work. Cousins’ virtuoso mezzotint does full justice to the portrait.
