A powerful and expressive lithograph by Chinese-French artist Yan Pei-Ming, this work depicts Pope John Paul II rendered in the artist's characteristically bold, gestural style. Part of the *Iĉones* series, the image employs dramatic contrasts and loose, vigorous mark-making to convey both the spiritual authority and human vulnerability of the iconic religious figure. Printed in colours on BFK Rives paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Ming's ability to transform portraiture into a meditation on power, mortality, and fame.
