EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from the Bardi St. Francis altarpiece and twenty stories of his life, located in the Bardi Chapel of the Basilica of the Holy Cross in Florence, Italy. Created by Coppo di Marcovaldo between 1245 and 1250, this masterpiece depicts an inspiring scene from Saint Francis' life. In this particular section, we witness Saint Francis teaching lepers with utmost compassion and humility. The image portrays him holding one afflicted individual tenderly in his arms while washing the feet of others affected by leprosy. This act symbolizes Saint Francis' unwavering dedication to serving those marginalized by society and exemplifies his embodiment of selflessness. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures every emotion on Saint Francis' face – a mix of empathy, love, and devotion. Against a stunning golden background characteristic of medieval art, this piece radiates spirituality and reverence. Coppo di Marcovaldo's skillful use of color and composition brings depth to this painting, making it come alive before our eyes even through a photograph. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent prevalent during that era and the enduring legacy left behind by Saint Francis himself. As we admire this exquisite artwork captured beautifully by Ghigo Roli's lens, we are reminded not only of its historical significance but also inspired by its timeless message: to embrace compassion for all beings regardless of their circumstances or afflictions.
