This video shows all popes of the catholic church in history.
It starts with Saint Peter and ends with Pope Francis.
The video does not show the date of death, since most popes died at the end of their pontificate.

Q&A :
1 - Why do so many early-century popes resemble each other?
Over time, collections of papal portraits have accumulated, often showing great similarities among the popes of the early centuries. These depictions were created long after their lifetimes and rely solely on their attributed features. While I have tried to find the best available image for each pope, better portraits have since become accessible for some after the video's upload.

2 - What is the meaning of St., Bl., and Ven. ?
It refers to the canonization status of the popes using abbreviations: St. for "Saint", Bl. for "Blessed," and Ven. for "Venerable." These terms signify different levels of recognition within the Catholic faith, representing individuals who are venerated as holy, beatified, or recognized for their heroic virtues.

The number is not that of the pope, but that of the pontificate.

To make the video, I used the information from the following Wikipedia list, leaving out the counter-popes:
