Add to Wishlist

Pope Julius II entered the Vatican in 1503 as the new Pontifex Maximus and during his ten-year papacy worked successfully to safeguard the church state and the unity of Italy. During his ponticate, the greatest patron in the history of the Church made Rome the center of the Italian High Renaissance. With its composition of gold-coated latticework on a cream-colored lacquered background, the Patron of Art Edition Pope Julius II recalls the colors of the papal clothing. On the Edition 888 the filigree latticework is made of Au 750 solid gold and the guilloched lacquer background shimmers in a luxuriant maroon. The cap head is a masterful reflection of the tiara, the headdress of the Pontiff. The Au 750 solid gold nib bears the finely engraved emblem of the Pope, the coat of arms of Pope Julius II, who, like hardly any other before or after him, led the clergy and was a Patron of the Arts.
