EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the profound moment when St. Francis Renounces his Fathers Goods and Earthly Wealth, as depicted in the stunning fresco by Giotto di Bondone. Created between 1297-99, this masterpiece can be found in the San Francesco Upper Church in Assisi, Italy. In this scene, we witness a transformative act of renunciation as St. Francis relinquishes all worldly possessions and embraces a life of humility and devotion to God. The composition is filled with symbolism; an array of onlookers including a medieval crowd and bishop bear witness to this extraordinary event. The architectural details surrounding St. Francis add depth to the image - from the intricate gothic arches to the loggia that frames him against a heavenly backdrop. As he stands there nude, vulnerable yet resolute, it becomes evident that he has been touched by an otherworldly apparition or vision. Giotto's mastery shines through every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical likeness but also conveying deep spiritual significance within this artwork. This particular print allows us to appreciate its beauty up close while preserving its historical value for generations to come. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of art captured by www. bridgemanimages. com, we are reminded of St. Francis' unwavering commitment to forsake material wealth for eternal treasures - an inspiring reminder for us all in our pursuit of true fulfillment beyond earthly possessions.
