EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment in history, depicting the marriage between St. Francis of Assisi and Lady Poverty. The image showcases St. Francis, an Italian priest and founder of the Franciscan order, dressed in dark robes on the left side of the frame. Standing barefoot among thorns is Poverty, portrayed as an allegorical figure. The scene is inspired by a fresco painted by Giotto di Bondone around 1330 in the Basilica of San Francesco at Assisi, Italy. This photograph was taken in approximately 1930 and features exquisite monochrome detailing that adds depth to this symbolic union. St. Francis' commitment to poverty as a way of life is beautifully depicted here as he takes Poverty to be his bride with Christ officiating their sacred bond. The composition evokes a sense of hardship and sacrifice while emphasizing St. Francis' unwavering faith and dedication to his religious beliefs. Elizabeth O'Neill's book "The World's Story: A Simple History for Boys and Girls" references this remarkable artwork, showcasing its significance even beyond its original context. This print serves as a reminder of St. Francis' enduring legacy as well as an exploration into medieval spirituality during the thirteenth century when such vows held great importance within society. It invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with material wealth and consider how embracing simplicity can lead to spiritual fulfillment.
