1. Title: Saint Francis of Assisi and His Beloved Wolf, Brother Lambello Date: 1483 Description: This exquisite print depicts the renowned Italian saint, Saint Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), in a tender moment with his loyal companion, Brother Lambello, a wolf. The image, created in 1483, is a beautiful testament to the deep bond between the saint and the animal world. Background: Saint Francis of Assisi, born Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone, was an Italian Catholic friar and the founder of the Franciscan Order. He is best known for his love of nature, dedication to poverty, and devotion to animals. The legend of Saint Francis and the wolf of Gubbio, which is depicted in this print, is one of the most famous stories about the saint's relationship with animals. Story: According to the legend, a wolf was terrorizing the town of Gubbio, Italy, and was killing its inhabitants. Saint Francis, who was known for his ability to communicate with animals, approached the wolf and asked it to stop its destructive behavior. The wolf, moved by the saint's words, agreed to cease its attacks on the town, and instead, provided protection to its people. In this print, Saint Francis is shown with Brother Lambello, the wolf, symbolizing the peace and harmony that the saint brought between humans and animals. The print, created in the late 15th century, is a stunning example of the artistic talent and devotion of the time. It is a reminder of the enduring legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi and his unwavering commitment to peace, love, and the natural world.
