Vatican Museum Presents Painting to Pope Leo XIV
A beautifully restored 18th century painting of Saint Augustine was presented to Pope Leo XIV on Aug. 2, 2025.
The Holy Father expressed his deep appreciation for the painstaking work carried out by the restoration team at the Vatican Museums. His words were a powerful acknowledgement of the passion and dedication that go into safeguarding our artistic and spiritual heritage – work that is possible thanks to the support of Patrons and Friends!
