EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Pope Gregory IX canonizing St. Francis in 1228, depicted in a breathtaking fresco by Giotto di Bondone. The fresco, measuring an impressive 270x230 cm, is housed in the Upper Church of San Francesco in Assisi, Italy. Giotto's mastery shines through as he skillfully portrays this significant event from the Gothic era. The composition exudes a sense of grandeur and reverence, with Pope Gregory IX seated on his ornate throne surrounded by clergy and dignitaries. St. Francis kneels before him, his humble demeanor juxtaposed against the opulence of the scene. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and expression on each face tells a story. Through vibrant colors and delicate brushstrokes, Giotto brings this sacred moment to life for viewers centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate not only Giotto's artistic genius but also the historical significance of St. Francis' canonization during a time when religion played such a central role in society. It serves as a testament to both faith and artistry that continues to inspire awe today. As we gaze upon this image captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are transported back in time, witnessing firsthand an extraordinary event that forever shaped religious history
