EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1876, immersing us in the serene ambiance of the Lower Church of San Francesco in Assisi. Painted by Carolus-Duran, a renowned French artist from the late 19th century, this oil on panel masterpiece measures 17.5x28.4 cm and is now housed at the Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute in Williamstown, Massachusetts. The image showcases a breathtaking view inside the church, with its grandeur and spiritual essence beautifully captured through Duran's skilled brushstrokes. The focal point of this composition lies on a magnificent staircase that gracefully descends into an ethereal space filled with divine light. As we gaze upon this scene, we are transported to another era where time seems to stand still. The steps leading down evoke a sense of reverence and anticipation as they guide our eyes towards unknown depths within the basilica. Assisi itself holds great historical significance as it is home to Saint Francis, one of Italy's most revered saints. This painting allows us to experience firsthand the sacred atmosphere that has attracted countless pilgrims throughout centuries. Through this remarkable artwork preserved by Bridgeman Images, we can appreciate not only Duran's artistic talent but also his ability to capture spirituality within physical spaces. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and place, allowing us to connect with history while experiencing moments of profound beauty.
