Francesco d'Assisi, also known as St. Francis of Assisi, is a prominent figure in religious art and history. His life and teachings have inspired countless artists to create beautiful works that depict his devotion and compassion towards all living beings. In the Transept, an external part of The Bardi Chapel, we find a stunning portrayal of St. Francis and the Stigmata from 1320-25. This artwork captures the profound moment when he receives the wounds resembling those of Christ on his own body, symbolizing his deep connection with God. Another remarkable piece within The Bardi Chapel is the altarpiece showcasing twenty stories from St. Francis's life. One particular detail shows him teaching lepers while holding one tenderly in his arms and washing the feet of others (1245-50). This image exemplifies his selfless love for humanity and willingness to serve even those society often rejects. A polychrome glazed terracotta bas-relief dating back to around 1475 depicts a dossal altar featuring various saints including St. Francis alongside Bartholomew, Raphael, and Tobiolo. It showcases their spiritual significance within Catholicism through intricate craftsmanship. Moving along to the right aisle, we encounter a pulpit adorned with scenes from St. Francis's life created circa 1481. One tile portrays him receiving the stigmata - divine marks resembling Christ's crucifixion wounds - signifying his union with Christ's suffering for humanity.

Additionally, it showcases him preaching fearlessly not only to birds but also Muslims in front of Sultan - demonstrating his commitment to spreading peace across religions. Within another fresco called Madonna of Loreto depicting martyrdoms and Franciscan saints, St.
