EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of mendicant friars near Naples, Italy in the late 19th century. The image transports us back in time to a period where these devoted religious figures roamed the countryside, spreading goodwill and charity among the villagers. The friars, dressed in their traditional robes, exude a sense of humility and piety as they engage with the local community. Their presence is a reminder of the selfless dedication to serving others that has been a cornerstone of religious life for centuries. In this snapshot from Italian Pictures by Rev. Samuel Manning, we see not only the friars themselves but also the backdrop of rural Italy - with its rustic buildings and lush landscapes adding to the authenticity of this historical scene. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the importance of compassion and generosity towards those less fortunate. The act of begging for alms may seem foreign to us now, but it was once a common practice among religious orders who relied on donations to support their charitable work. Overall, this print serves as both a visual feast for the eyes and a poignant reminder of the timeless values embodied by these mendicant friars near Naples over a century ago.
