EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Two Franciscan Friars" in a stunning display of chalks on paper. Created by the renowned artist Peter Paul Rubens, this artwork measures 56x40.3 cm and is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The friars depicted in this study are dressed in traditional Franciscan robes, their cowled hoods adding an air of mystery to their devout presence. Their interaction is captured beautifully, as they engage in a gesture that exudes deep devotion and piety. Rubens created this piece as a study for "The Last Communion of St Francis" intended for the altar of the Church of the Recollects at Antwerp. Through his masterful use of chalks on paper, he brings these characters to life with remarkable detail and emotion. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to the baroque era, where men like these dedicated themselves to a life of prayer and service. Their attire speaks volumes about their commitment to their faith, while their serene expressions reveal an inner peace that comes from living a life devoted to God. This print allows us to appreciate Rubens' talent and skill in capturing not only the physical appearance but also the spiritual essence of these two friars. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with profound moments from history.
