EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic figure of Saint Francis of Assisi, captured in exquisite detail by the talented artist Antoniazzo Romano. Created around 1480-81, this altarpiece transports us back to the 15th century, immersing us in a world of religious devotion and artistic mastery. Saint Francis stands before us, his bare feet firmly planted on the ground, symbolizing his humility and detachment from material possessions. Clutching a book close to his heart, he embodies wisdom and spiritual enlightenment. The vibrant colors used by Romano bring this Renaissance masterpiece to life, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. The crucifixion scene depicted behind Saint Francis serves as a powerful reminder of his deep connection with Christ's suffering. The stigmata visible on his hands further emphasize his profound devotion and willingness to share in Jesus' pain. Displayed within the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore, this painting has become an integral part of our cultural heritage. It is now preserved for generations to come at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Antoniazzo Romano's skillful use of tempera and gold on wood adds depth and richness to every brushstroke. This artwork not only captures Saint Francis' physical appearance but also conveys the essence of his spirituality. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where faith intertwines with artistry—a testament to both human creativity and divine inspiration.
