EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century print depicts St. Francis of Assisi in deep prayer, a poignant and revered image of the Italian saint. The artist, unknown, masterfully captures the essence of St. Francis' devotion and connection to nature through the use of black and white media - pen and brown ink with braces of black chalk on blue laid paper laid down on tinted wove paper. The figure of St. Francis, dressed in the simple brown robe of a Franciscan friar, is depicted in a humble and introspective pose, his hands folded in supplication, and his eyes closed in quiet contemplation. The setting is sparse, with only a few trees and rocks in the background, emphasizing the solitude and serenity of the scene. St. Francis of Assisi, born Giovanni Bernadone in 1181-1182, was a Christian friar and preacher who is widely regarded as the founder of the Franciscan Order. He is known for his love of nature, his devotion to the poor, and his commitment to living a simple and humble life. This print is a beautiful and enduring testament to the enduring legacy of St. Francis and the rich cultural heritage of Italy. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and research center, where it is part of the permanent collection of prints and drawings. The Art Institute is home to a vast and diverse collection of art from around the world and throughout history, making it an important destination for scholars, artists, and art lovers alike.
