EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound spirituality and harmony between man and nature. Entitled "St Francis preaching to the birds" this engraving by Henry Stacey Marks depicts the legendary Saint Francis of Assisi communing with his feathered friends. In this enchanting scene, St Francis stands in a serene landscape, surrounded by an array of colorful birds. With arms outstretched and eyes closed in deep contemplation, he imparts his wisdom upon these winged creatures. The birds listen intently, perched on branches or soaring above him, as if mesmerized by his words. The artist beautifully portrays the gentle demeanor of St Francis through delicate lines and intricate details. His flowing robes blend harmoniously with the natural elements surrounding him, symbolizing his affinity for all living beings. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for H. D. M Spence's book "The Church of England" in 1905. It has since become an iconic representation of St Francis' connection to nature and his message of compassion towards all creatures. Through this image, we are reminded of the power that lies within simplicity and humility – qualities epitomized by Saint Francis himself. It serves as a timeless reminder to cherish our environment and embrace kindness towards every living being we encounter on our journey through life.
