EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing detail from Giotto Di Bondone's masterpiece, "Saint Francois of Assisi preaching birds". The painting depicts the iconic scene of Saint Francis of Assisi surrounded by a flock of attentive birds, as he passionately delivers his sermon. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork showcases Giotto's exceptional talent in capturing both the spiritual essence and natural beauty. The predelle also includes another significant moment in Saint Francis' life - his reception of the stigmas. This powerful image portrays the saint kneeling in prayer while receiving the sacred wounds that mirror those inflicted on Jesus during his crucifixion. Through this depiction, Giotto skillfully conveys Saint Francis' deep devotion and connection to Christ. Painted with tempera on wood, this piece exemplifies Giotto's mastery of technique and composition. The rich gold background adds an ethereal touch to the scene, enhancing its religious significance. As one explores every brushstroke and delicate rendering within this artwork, it becomes evident why Giotto is considered one of the most influential artists of the Trecento period. Currently housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris, this painting continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound spiritual message. It serves as a testament to Saint Francis' unwavering faith and his unique ability to communicate with all creatures – human or otherwise – through love and compassion.
