EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 15th century print, a group of Franciscan monks are depicted in a less-than-holy scene as they beg for alms from the townsfolk. The once revered Franciscan Order, founded by St. Francis of Assisi in the 13th century, had fallen from grace by the 15th century. The monks in this print are shown with disheveled habits and carefree expressions, chatting up the girls and enjoying the company, a stark contrast to the poverty and piety that were once the hallmarks of the Franciscan way of life. The Franciscan Order, which had been founded on a vow of poverty and simplicity, had become lax in its observance of the rule. By the 1520s, the Order had become a target for criticism and reform. In 1528, the Order was officially reformed under the leadership of Cardinal Reginald Pole, who sought to restore the Order to its original ideals. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges faced by religious orders in maintaining their spiritual focus and adherence to their founding principles over the centuries. The monks in the print are a far cry from the ascetic and devout figures that St. Francis had envisioned, and their behavior raises questions about the nature of religious life during this period. Despite the challenges, the Franciscan Order continued to evolve and adapt, eventually becoming one of the largest and most influential religious orders in the Catholic Church.
