Lot Details
425 x 285mm; depicting Saint Ionnes with sceptre cross and fingers raised. Finely hand painted and worked in colours. NOTE: Pope John I (Latin: Ioannes I; died 18 May 526) was the Bishop of Rome from 13 August 523 to his death.[1] He was a native of Siena (or the "Castello di Serena" - near Chiusdino) in Italy. He was sent on a diplomatic mission to Constantinople by the Ostrogoth King Theoderic to negotiate better treatment for Arians. Although John was relatively successful - upon his return to Ravenna - Theoderic had him imprisoned for allegedly conspiring with Constantinople. The frail pope died of neglect and ill-treatment.
