This print, titled "St. Francis of Assisi talking to the Birds" transports us back to the 13th century. The image depicts a moment of profound connection between St. Francis and nature, as he engages in conversation with a flock of birds. The French School's exquisite engraving beautifully captures the essence of this iconic scene from a psalter miniature dating back to the Middle Ages. St. Francis, known for his deep love and reverence for all living creatures, stands tall amidst an ethereal landscape while birds perch on his outstretched arms and shoulders.

As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the power of compassion and harmony that transcends time. Through delicate lines and intricate details, this 19th-century print evokes a sense of awe and wonderment at witnessing such a miraculous encounter between man and bird.
