St. Franciscus v. Assisi 1926

Reijer Stolk's woodcut "St. Franciscus v. Assisi" (1926) depicts the saint amidst a vibrant, fantastical landscape. Birds, fish, and other creatures surround him, representing his devotion to nature and all living things. The bold, stylized lines and bright colors evoke the aesthetic of early medieval manuscripts. The work showcases Stolk's artistic versatility, moving from his early Expressionist style to a more simplified, graphic approach. The work is part of the Rijksmuseum's collection.
