Saint Bonaventure Arriving and Preaching in Lyon 1480 - 1490

This anonymous 15th century artwork depicts Saint Bonaventure arriving and preaching in Lyon. This scene is likely inspired by a real event in the life of the saint. The work is characteristic of medieval art with its vivid colours, geometric patterns and hierarchical scale. The scene is divided into multiple tiers, with Saint Bonaventure at the bottom preaching to a crowd, angels and symbols of his sanctity in the center and the Holy Trinity at the top. It is unclear where the artwork is currently located, but it is a testament to the enduring legacy of Saint Bonaventure.
