EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative 13th century image captures the profound connection between St. Francis of Assisi and the natural world. Saint Francis of Assisi (1181-1226), an Italian Catholic friar and the founder of the Franciscan Order, is renowned for his deep love and respect for all God's creatures. In this print, St. Francis is depicted in a humble hut, surrounded by the beauty of nature. A fawn, drawn to the saint's gentle presence, approaches him, symbolizing the harmony and peace that St. Francis brought to the natural world. The serene setting of the Italian countryside is a fitting backdrop for this powerful representation of St. Francis's spiritual connection to nature. The tree in the foreground, with its outstretched branches, frames the scene and emphasizes the unity of all living things. St. Francis, dressed in the simple brown robes of his order, is shown in a moment of communion with the fawn, representing the profound respect and love he held for all creatures, great and small. This image is a testament to the enduring legacy of St. Francis of Assisi, who continues to inspire millions around the world with his message of peace, love, and respect for all of God's creation. The medieval era, with its rich artistic traditions, provides a fitting context for this beautiful and moving representation of a truly holy man and his deep connection to the natural world.
