"Le Pape Clément XI Donnant L'Extrême-Onction à un Moribond" is an 18th-century painting by Italian artist Pier Leone Ghezzi. Known for his work as a caricaturist and a painter of religious and historical scenes, Ghezzi was active during the Baroque period, which is reflected in the dramatic and emotional style of this artwork. The painting depicts Pope Clement XI, born Giovanni Francesco Albani, administering the last rites, also known as the sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick, to a dying person. This act is one of the seven sacraments of the Catholic Church, intended to give comfort and spiritual strength to those who are seriously ill or near death.

The artwork is significant for its portrayal of a pope in a moment of personal ministry, emphasizing the role of the pontiff as a spiritual leader directly engaged in the pastoral care of the faithful. The painting's composition, use of light and shadow, and the emotional expressions of the figures involved highlight the Baroque era's characteristic focus on movement, detail, and the use of dramatic effects to evoke a sense of grandeur and piety.

Pier Leone Ghezzi's work often combined a sense of realism with a gentle satire, although "Le Pape Clément XI Donnant L'Extrême-Onction à un Moribond" is noted for its more serious and respectful tone. The painting not only serves as an example of Ghezzi's artistic skill but also provides historical insight into the religious practices and ecclesiastical hierarchy of the time.

As an important piece of religious art from the Baroque period, "Le Pape Clément XI Donnant L'Extrême-Onction à un Moribond" is a valuable work for both art historians and those interested in the cultural history of the papacy. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery to convey deep spiritual narratives and the human connection to the divine.
