Description

"From: The Basilica of Saint Peter's in the Vatican by Franco Cosimo Panini The funerary monument of Gregorio Luigi Barnaba Chiaramonti, born at Cesena (Forli) in 1742, pope from 1800 to 1823 with the name of Pius VIII, was made between 1823 and 1831 by the Danish sculptor Bertel Torvaldsen, from whom it was commissioned by Cardinal Ercole Consalvi. It is on the east wall of the Clementine Chapel, backing onto a large arch surmounting a doorway which gave access to the Chapel of the Choir but is no longer in use. The papal throne flanked by two angels, rests on the architrave; at the sides, on separate bases, are Divine Fortitude, wearing a lion's skin and with her arms gathered to her breast, and Wisdom, crowned with oak-leaves and with her eyes cast down."
