EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the election of Pope Martin V and his subsequent blessing of the people at the Council of Constance in 1417. The artwork, created by Ulrich von Richental, showcases this pivotal event during the Council's proceedings. The Council of Constance, held in Konstanz, Germany from 1414 to 1418, aimed to resolve the Western Schism that had divided the Roman Catholic Church. With tensions running high and multiple claimants vying for papal authority, it was crucial to elect a unifying figure who could restore stability and unity within the church. In this image, we see Pope Martin V standing before a crowd of eager onlookers. Dressed in his papal regalia and holding his pastoral staff high above him, he exudes an air of authority and reverence. The people below gaze up at him with hope-filled eyes as they eagerly await his blessings. Surrounded by bishops wearing their distinctive mitres and other religious figures such as monks, this scene is steeped in medieval religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of both the power wielded by those within the church hierarchy and their duty to guide and protect their flock. Ulrich von Richental's pen-and-ink technique brings depth and detail to every figure present in this composition. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand one of history's most critical moments for both religion and politics - an event that would shape
