EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting St. Ignatius receiving the papal bull of the foundation of the company of Jesus (Jesuits) from Pope Paul III. Painted by Valdes Leal between 1660 and 1664, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 210x160 cm and is currently housed at the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville, Spain. The painting showcases St. Ignatius, founder of the Jesuit order, kneeling before Pope Paul III as he presents him with the papal bull that officially establishes their religious community. The intense emotions are palpable as both figures engage in this pivotal exchange. Valdes Leal's attention to detail is evident throughout his work; every brushstroke brings life to each character and adds depth to their expressions. The artist skillfully uses light and shadow to create a dramatic atmosphere that enhances the significance of this historical event. This print allows viewers to appreciate not only Valdes Leal's artistic talent but also serves as a visual reminder of an important moment in Catholic Church history. It invites us to reflect upon St. Ignatius' devotion and determination in establishing one of the most influential religious orders worldwide – one that continues its mission today through education, spirituality, and service.
