EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment of St. Francis Renouncing his Worldly Goods, as depicted in Giotto's fresco from the Bardi Chapel in Florence, Italy. Painted around 1320 by the renowned artist Giotto di Bondone, this masterpiece showcases the emotional journey of renunciation. In this scene, we witness a young child crying while being held by their parents as they watch St. Francis make a life-altering decision to embrace a monastic existence. The perspective and architecture surrounding them reflect the Gothic style prevalent during that period. St. Francis' father stands beside him, representing both support and concern for his son's choice to abandon material wealth for spiritual enlightenment. This Renaissance-era artwork beautifully portrays the internal struggle faced by individuals torn between familial obligations and personal calling. Giotto's skillful brushstrokes bring forth an array of emotions through this painting - from sadness and longing to determination and devotion. It serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made in pursuit of faith. As we admire this piece, we are transported back in time to witness not only an important moment in St. Francis' life but also appreciate Giotto's contribution to Italian art history. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, this work continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its timeless beauty and profound message of self-discovery.
