Saint Francis of Assisi 1450 - 1470

This anonymous 15th-century artwork depicts Saint Francis of Assisi kneeling in prayer with an angel appearing above him in the clouds. The angel, with outstretched wings and a halo, holds a cross symbolizing the Christian faith. The vibrant colors and stylized figures are characteristic of the Late Gothic style, popular in Europe during the period. The image, likely intended for devotional purposes, captures the piety and spiritual devotion of Saint Francis, a central figure in the history of Christianity.
