From stunning oil paintings to intricate sculptures, this captivating collection showcases various artistic interpretations of Saint Francis. One such masterpiece is "St. Francis Preaching to the Birds, " painted between 1297-1299. This timeless work captures the saint's deep connection with nature and his ability to communicate with all creatures, no matter how small. In contrast, "Rocky Landscape with Saint Francis" by Abraham Govaerts transports us to a serene wilderness where Saint Francis finds solace amidst rugged terrain. The artist skillfully portrays the harmony between man and nature that was central to St. Francis' philosophy. Moving forward in time, we encounter Giovanni Baglione's "The Ecstasy of Saint Francis. " Painted in 1601, this piece depicts the saint experiencing divine rapture as he communed with God. The vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes convey both ecstasy and spiritual transcendence. Francesco Albani's "Virgin and Child Adored by Saint Francis" offers a tender portrayal of St. Francis kneeling before Mary and baby Jesus—a testament to his unwavering devotion towards them. Another significant artwork is Spinello Aretino's "Saint Francis before the Pope (The Approval of the Franciscan Rule). " Created around 1390-1400, it immortalizes an important moment when Pope Innocent III recognized St. Francis' radical vision for religious poverty. Nicolo Roccatagliata's sculpture titled "Saint Francisco of Assisi; Base with Putti" showcases exquisite craftsmanship while capturing St. Francis' gentle demeanor through delicate details like flowing robes and cherubic putti surrounding him. Lodovico Carracci's painting entitled "The Vision of Saint Frances" takes us on a mystical journey as we witness the saint receiving divine revelations.
