About the workCaspar Scheuren’s commemorative print for the fiftieth anniversary of Pope Pius IX’s priesthood was created in 1869. The subject was 77 years old at the time. Above the oval medallion with the black-and-white portrait of the Pope is his coat of arms. On the bottom left, round medallions show the clergyman’s most important ecclesiastical postings; on the right are his theological works, such as the “Syllabus errorum”, a list published in 1864 of 80 statements he condemned as false. This included the freedom of conscience, which Pius IX described as “madness”.
