St Ignatius of Loyola, 1886
St Ignatius of Loyola, 1886. Inigo Lopez de Loyola (1491-1556) was a Spanish soldier who founded the Society of Jesus together with 6 others at St Marys Church, Montmartre, Paris, in 1534. The society, which came to be known as the Jesuits, was established with the mission to enter upon hospital and missionary work in Jerusalem, or to go without questioning wherever the pope might direct. The Society of Jesus gained papal approval in 1540, and went on to become a highly organised teaching and missionary society which was at the forefront of the Counter-Reformation. St Ignatius was canonised in 1622. Published in Butlers Lives of the Saints, DIV 7, by the Rev Alban Butler, London & Dublin, 1886

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases St Ignatius of Loyola, a prominent figure in Spanish history. Inigo Lopez de Loyola, as he was originally known, founded the Society of Jesus alongside six others at St Mary's Church in Montmartre, Paris in 1534. This society later became renowned as the Jesuits and played a crucial role during the Counter-Reformation. St Ignatius' dedication to his mission is evident through this portrait captured by an unknown creator in 1886. The vibrant colors bring out his strong presence and unwavering commitment to his faith. As a priest and religious leader, St Ignatius exemplified devotion and piety throughout his life. Published in Butlers Lives of the Saints by Rev Alban Butler, this print offers us a glimpse into the rich history of Catholicism during the 16th century. It serves as a reminder of how individuals like St Ignatius shaped Christianity with their profound influence. The significance of this portrait extends beyond its artistic value; it represents an era when religion played a central role in people's lives. St Ignatius' canonization in 1622 further solidifies his status as an esteemed saint within Roman Catholicism. As we observe this image today, we are reminded not only of St Ignatius' contributions but also of the enduring legacy left behind by those who dedicated their lives to spreading faith and compassion across nations.
