EDITORS COMMENTS
This colored wood engraving, titled "Arrival of the antipope John XXIII at the Council of Constance in 1414" transports us back to a significant moment in history. Created by Ulrich von Richental around 1483, this print vividly depicts the entrance of antipope John XXIII into the Council of Constance. The image showcases a grand procession as John XXIII, also known as Baldassare Cossa, arrives at the council. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect: from the ornate garments worn by clergy and nobles to the architectural splendor surrounding them. We can almost hear the fanfare and feel the anticipation that filled the air on that day. The Council of Constance was an ecumenical gathering held between 1414 and 1418 with one primary goal – resolving what is now known as The Great Western Schism. This schism had divided Christianity for nearly forty years due to multiple claimants to papal authority. Antipope John XXIII was one such contender who sought recognition as Pope. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into a pivotal event where political power struggles intersected with religious debates. It serves as a reminder of how historical events shape our present reality and influence future generations. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece from Ulrich von Richental's collection, allowing us to appreciate its artistic brilliance while reflecting on its historical significance.
