Long before he ascended to the Papacy, Jorge Mario Bergoglio was known for his steadfast refusal to use a chauffeured limousine, preferring the rhythmic rattle of city buses. This grainy, evocative black and white composition captures that spirit of humility through the lens of a 1998 commute.

About black and white photography

Without colour, a photograph relies on contrast, texture and composition, which is why black and white feels timeless. Many celebrated photographers printed their own work in the darkroom, treating each print as a finished artwork. The original dates from 1998. A fine art photograph is composed, printed and displayed with the same care as a painting.

Styling this black and white photograph

Black-and-white tones give this black and white photograph an elegant character that holds a room. In a home office, hang “Pope Francis on Public Transport” above a desk: 20×30″ or 24×36″ for impact, 12×18″ for a smaller wall. The monochrome tones of “Pope Francis on Public Transport” sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a slim black frame with a generous white mat. For a gallery wall, pair “Pope Francis on Public Transport” with two or three smaller black-and-white prints, spaced 2–3 inches (5–8 cm) apart.
