EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of St. Francis in all his glory, surrounded by symbolic representations of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience. Created by the talented artist Cristoforo Cortese during the Renaissance period, this vellum masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris. The central figure of St. Francis stands tall and radiant as he basks in divine light. His serene expression reflects his unwavering devotion to God and his commitment to a life of piety. Surrounding him are ethereal depictions of Chastity, Poverty, and Obedience - virtues that were deeply cherished by St. Francis. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is its inclusion of Lust and Avarice at St. Francis' feet. These darker elements serve as a stark contrast to the saint's purity and righteousness, reminding viewers of the constant struggle between temptation and virtue. The intricate details within this illuminated manuscript are awe-inspiring; from the delicately illustrated animals like wolves and boars to the ornate floriated border that frames the scene with elegance. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, allow yourself to be transported back in time to an era where religious devotion was celebrated through artistry at its finest.
