EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of the Bardi St. Francis altarpiece and twenty stories of his life, created by Coppo di Marcovaldo in 1245-50. Located in the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Florence, Italy, this masterpiece is a testament to medieval art. The image captures three significant moments from St. Francis' life depicted on the altarpiece. The first scene portrays the creation of the Nativity scene in Greccio, showcasing St. Francis' devotion to reenacting Christ's birth for worshipers. In another panel, we witness St. Francis preaching to birds, symbolizing his deep connection with nature and all living creatures. This iconic moment reflects his belief that every being deserves love and respect. Lastly, we see an extraordinary depiction of St. Francis preaching to Muslims in front of the Sultan during a time when religious tensions were high between Christians and Muslims. This act demonstrates his commitment to peace and understanding across different faiths. With a golden background adding an ethereal touch to these scenes, Coppo di Marcovaldo's artistic skill shines through each brushstroke. This print not only captures these remarkable moments but also invites viewers into a world where spirituality transcends boundaries and compassion knows no limits - a true testament to Saint Francis' enduring legacy as a saintly figure revered by many around the world.
