Vatican completes mosaic portrait of Pope Leo XIV for St. Paul Outside the Walls
The Vatican’s Fabric of Saint Peter has finished a 137 cm mosaic roundel of Pope Leo XIV, based on Master Rodolfo Papa’s painting, using glass enamels and gold. The piece will be installed beside Pope Francis’ portrait in the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls at about 13 meters high, with the preparatory painting preserved at the Fabrica di San Pietro in the Vatican.
