EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we witness the solemn moment of St. Francis of Assisi's final journey to his resting place at Saint-Marie-des-Anges. Painted by Francois Leon Benouville in 1853, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 93x240 cm and is currently housed at the Musee d Orsay in Paris, France. The scene unfolds with great reverence as Saint Francis, a revered figure known for his devotion to nature and simplicity, is carried upon a bier by fellow monks. As he passes through the town of Assisi, where he was born and spent much of his life spreading his message of peace and compassion, he bestows a blessing upon its inhabitants. Captured beautifully in this painting is the serenity that surrounds St. Francis during this poignant moment. His halo radiates divine light while his monk's tonsure signifies his commitment to a life dedicated to God. The Italian landscape serves as a breathtaking backdrop, emphasizing the connection between St. Francis and nature - an integral part of his spiritual teachings. This artwork not only pays homage to one of history's most beloved saints but also captures the essence of Franciscan spirituality and its impact on society. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since St. Francis' passing in 1226, his legacy continues to inspire countless individuals around the world.
