EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of St. Francis, as he is invested with his Habit by Pope Innocent III. Painted by the talented Master of Portillo, this oil on panel artwork emanates a sense of reverence and spirituality. The scene takes place at the Convento Santa Clara in Tordesillas, Spain. The composition showcases St. Francis kneeling before Pope Innocent III, who bestows upon him the iconic brown Habit that symbolizes his commitment to poverty and service to God. This ritualistic ceremony signifies St. Francis' official initiation into the religious order he founded - the Franciscans. The painting beautifully portrays both figures adorned in elaborate ecclesiastical attire, highlighting their respective roles within the church hierarchy. The pope's regal tiara serves as a stark contrast to St. Francis' humble appearance, emphasizing his renunciation of worldly possessions. With its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant colors, this altarpiece transports viewers back to Assisi in Italy during the late 12th century when St. Francis lived and preached his message of compassion and love for all creatures. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of St. Francis' profound impact on religious life but also of the enduring power of faith across different cultures and continents throughout history.
