As we gaze at the image, we witness their hands tightly clasped together, symbolizing the unbreakable bond of love and faith that exists between them. The expressions on their faces reveal a mixture of sadness and determination as they prepare to part ways.

It marks the beginning of his transformation from a wayward youth to one of Christianity's most influential theologians and philosophers.

Gozzoli's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the serene landscape surrounding them. This artwork invites us into an intimate moment frozen in time—a moment filled with hope, sorrow, and unwavering devotion.
