EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour lithograph depicts Friar Giles and his companion faint with hunger in a deserted church, a poignant scene from The Little Flowers of Saint Francis. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring to life the struggle and sacrifice of these devout followers of St. Francis of Assisi.
The artist, Eugene Burnand, skillfully captures the emotion and desperation on their faces as they endure physical hardship in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. The contrast between the warm tones of the desert landscape and the cool shadows within the church creates a sense of isolation and desolation.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to medieval Italy, where faith was tested through suffering and self-denial. The figures seem almost lifelike, their tattered robes fluttering in the breeze as they cling to each other for support.
Through this powerful image, we are reminded of the enduring legacy of St. Francis and his teachings on humility, poverty, and compassion. It serves as a timeless reminder that true devotion often requires great sacrifice – even if it means facing hunger in a deserted church.
