Beyond the Surface: Symbolism and Allegory

Dürer's engraving is not merely a portrait; it is a complex allegory filled with symbolism. The Pope, adorned in his elaborate mantle, represents the authority and power of the Church. The tapestry behind him depicts scenes from the life of Christ and the Virgin Mary, emphasizing the Pope's connection to the divine. The various animals and objects in the foreground symbolize virtues and vices, adding layers of meaning to the composition.
