EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned artwork "Saint Francis" by Peter Paul Rubens, created around 1615. As one of the most celebrated artists of the 17th century, Rubens masterfully captures the essence of Saint Francis in this piece displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago. Saint Francis, a prominent figure in Catholicism and Christianity, is depicted here deep in prayer, his eyes closed and hands clasped together. Dressed in traditional Franciscan attire, his habit reflects his devotion to God and humble way of life. The Flemish artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke as he brings forth an aura of serenity and spirituality. Rubens' use of oil on panel technique adds depth and richness to this portrait. The warm tones evoke a sense of tranquility while highlighting Saint Francis' unwavering faith. Through this painting, Rubens pays homage to Giovanni Bernadone (later known as Saint Francis), who founded the Franciscan order and became revered for his compassion towards all living creatures. The location where this masterpiece resides further enhances its significance - within the walls of the prestigious Art Institute Chicago. This iconic institution serves as a sanctuary for artistic expression from various periods throughout history. As we gaze upon this image capturing Saint Francis lost in prayer, we are reminded not only of Rubens' exceptional talent but also inspired by Saint Francis' enduring legacy as a symbol of piety and devotion within Roman Catholicism.
