EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite engraving of St Francis of Assisi, created by the English School in the 19th century. Housed in a private collection, this artwork is a visual representation of the legendary figure and his significant role within Roman Catholicism and monastic orders. The illustration was originally featured in "Legends of the Monastic Orders as represented in the Fine Arts" by Mrs Jameson, published in 1880. The image transports us to Italy, where St Francis stands as a symbol of Christian devotion and spirituality. Surrounded by stunning architecture and religious monuments, he embodies the essence of Christian values and beliefs. This engraving beautifully captures both the intricate details of St Francis' appearance and his profound influence on Christianity. As we delve into this piece, we are reminded of other renowned artists who have depicted St Francis throughout history - Giotto, Overbeck, Badalocchi, Domenichino - all contributing to his enduring legacy through their works of art. The Italian flag subtly reminds us that this depiction holds deep cultural significance for Italians. Bridgeman Images has masterfully preserved this remarkable artwork from Fine Art Finder's collection for our enjoyment today. It serves as a testament to the power that religious imagery can hold over time and its ability to inspire faith across generations.
