Caption
Le Triomphe de la religion. Cartoon shows Pope Pius VII, Cardinal Caprara, and other members of the clergy seeking to receive the spirit of light from the beneficial rays emanating from a dove at the top centre, parting the dark clouds of ignorance and intolerance; at the top right, Jesus sits holding a crown of roses and extending palm fronds to the Virgin Mary, with a nun at her side; on the left, women revolutionaries are struck by bolts of lightning issuing from a shield held by an archangel; at the bottom left, a fiery pit claims other revolutionaries, while on the right, a group of new believers prays.
