EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the oldest portrait of Saint Francis of Assisi, dating back to the 13th century. Created by an anonymous artist, this masterpiece is now housed in the collection of Abbazia di Santa Scolastica in Subiaco, Italy. The image captures the essence of Saint Francis, a revered figure in Christianity and the founder of the Franciscan Order. The painting portrays him as a humble monk with an aura of mysticism surrounding him. His ascetic lifestyle and deep devotion to his faith are evident through his serene expression and gentle gaze. One striking feature depicted in this artwork is the stigma or stigmata on Saint Francis' hands and feet - symbolic wounds that mirror those suffered by Jesus Christ during crucifixion. This portrayal emphasizes his spiritual connection with Christ and highlights his role as a patron saint for those seeking solace and guidance. The gothic style adds an ethereal touch to this portrait, enhancing its timeless beauty. The delicate brushstrokes capture intricate details such as flowing robes and subtle facial expressions, making it a true testament to fine artistry. As we admire this remarkable piece from centuries past, we are reminded not only of Saint Francis' profound impact on Christian history but also how art can transcend time, allowing us to connect with figures who have shaped our world today.
