"Portrait of Pope Pius VII" is a lithographic work by François Séraphin Delpech, a French lithographer known for his portraits of prominent figures of his time. The portrait depicts Pope Pius VII, born Barnaba Niccolò Maria Luigi Chiaramonti, who served as the head of the Catholic Church and ruler of the Papal States from 1800 until his death in 1823. Delpech's lithograph is one of the numerous representations of the Pope, who was a significant religious and political figure during a tumultuous period in European history, marked by the Napoleonic Wars and the reshaping of continental politics.

François Séraphin Delpech (1778–1825) was an artist who specialized in lithography, a relatively new printmaking technique at the time, which allowed for the mass production of images. His works often featured portraits of celebrities, artists, and politicians, capturing the cultural and social milieu of early 19th-century France. The "Portrait of Pope Pius VII" is notable for its historical context and the way it reflects the Pope's role in the complex relationship between the Catholic Church and the French state, particularly during the reign of Napoleon Bonaparte.

Pope Pius VII's papacy was marked by significant events, including his temporary imprisonment by Napoleon and his later restoration of the Jesuit order. The portrait by Delpech is significant as it contributes to the visual documentation of Pius VII's papacy and serves as an artifact of the era's artistic and cultural history. The exact date of the portrait's creation, its dimensions, and current location are details that would typically be included in a comprehensive encyclopedia entry, provided such information is available and verifiable.
