EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a legendary tale that unfolded in the 15th century Italian city of Gubbio. The image depicts an artistic representation from the Sienese school, showcasing the miraculous taming of a fearsome wolf by St Francis of Assisi. The wolf had been terrorizing the city until this transformative encounter with the saint. The painting exudes a sense of religious devotion and medieval charm, transporting viewers to a bygone era. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life this extraordinary moment in Christian folklore. St Francis, depicted as a monk with his halo shining brightly, stands before the majestic creature, radiating compassion and serenity. The composition is enriched by its historical context; it was created during the Renaissance period when art flourished across Italy. This particular print originates from "Ideas" a volume exploring various origins and histories compiled by Readers Union in London back in 1956. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also of its symbolic significance. It serves as a testament to faith's power to overcome fear and transform even the most menacing forces into instruments of peace. Displayed proudly at London's National Gallery, this print invites us on an enchanting journey through time while celebrating both artistic mastery and spiritual enlightenment.
