About the piece
This 1715 painting by Antoine Rivalz captures Pope Urban II in profile, his hand extended toward a column of the Saint-Sernin Basilica. The work is defined by the masterful rendering of the Pope's heavily embroidered gold and silver vestments, set against a dark, atmospheric interior that emphasizes the solemnity of the occasion.
