EDITORS COMMENTS
Saint Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, is famously depicted in this enchanting illustration as he addresses a gathering of birds. Dated between 1182 and 1226, this evocative image showcases the deep connection that Saint Francis, the founder of the Franciscan Order, shared with the natural world. Born in Assisi, Italy, Francis lived an unconventional life, renouncing his wealthy family's inheritance and embracing a life of poverty and devotion. Inspired by his love for nature and the Gospel, he preached to animals, believing that all creatures possessed a divine spark. In this scene, Saint Francis stands before a rapt audience of birds, their feathers spread wide in awe and reverence. The gentle touch of his hand reaches out to a bird perched on his shoulder, symbolizing the harmony and unity between humans and nature. The lush greenery and serene landscape in the background further emphasize the tranquility and peace that Saint Francis brought to those around him. This exquisite print, from the vast collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and his profound impact on the world. His teachings continue to inspire us to cherish and protect the natural world, reminding us of the interconnectedness of all living beings.
