Mirror With the Coat of Arms of Pope Pius VIUpon Pius VI’s election, he received much criticism that his coat of arms was ‘too busy.’ Within months of his election he yielded to the pressure and simplified the arms. In 1798 Napoleon and his troops stormed the Vatican, pillaging much of its art and furniture. This mirror was among the items taken. Because this mirror has the ‘busy’ coat of arms, which dates it to the first few months of Pius VI’s papacy, it is even more unique.
