EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 17th century oil on canvas painting depicts the Italian saint, Francis of Assisi (1182-1226), a revered figure in the Catholic Church and the founder of the Franciscan Order. Born in Assisi, Italy, Francis lived an unconventional life, renouncing his wealthy family's heritage to embrace a life of poverty and devotion. He is often depicted with animals, symbolizing his deep connection with nature and his belief in the inherent goodness of all God's creatures. This painting, created during the colonial Baroque period, is now housed in the Convent of Santa Catalina in Arequipa, Peru. The image of Francis, with his serene expression and humble demeanor, captures the essence of his spirituality and dedication to God. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting are characteristic of the Colonial Baroque style, which flourished in the Americas during the early modern era. The painting serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring influence of Francis of Assisi and the Franciscan Order, which continues to inspire people around the world with its message of love, compassion, and simplicity. The image of Francis, with his outstretched hands and gentle gaze, invites us to reflect on the importance of faith, belief, and the interconnectedness of all living beings.
