About This Item
Cambridge: Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature and Science. Very Good-. 1859. Engraving. From the April 1859 issue of The Eclectic Magazine; 1 pages; Steel engraved standing portrait of NAPOLEON inducing POPE PIUS VII to Sign the Concordat. Image measures 12cm X 16.5cm, plate measures 16cm X 25cm. Foxing at margins. Engraved by John Sartain, after the original by Sir D. Wilkie for the Eclectic Magazine. The Concordat of 1801 was an agreement between Napoleon and Pope Pius VII, signed on 15 July 1801 in Paris.[1] It remained in effect until 1905. It sought national reconciliation between revolutionaries and Catholics and solidified the Roman Catholic Church as the majority church of France, with most of its civil status restored. The hostility of devout Catholics against the state had then largely been resolved. It did not restore the vast church lands and endowments that had been seized upon during the revolution and sold off. .
