Religion Saint Francis D\'Assisi Preaching to Birds, Large 1870s Antique Print: $129.95
You are offerding on a large, very rareoriginal antique print from an 1870s French illustrated journal.
It depicts Saint Francis of Assisi (San Francesco d\'Assisi, Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone) preaching to the birds. It is said that, one day, while Francis was travelling with some companions, they happened upon a place in the road where birds filled the trees on either side. Francis told his companions to \"wait for me while I go to preach to my sisters the birds.\" The birds surrounded him, intrigued by the power of his voice, and not one of them flew away. He is often portrayed with a bird, typically in his hand.
St. Francis od\'Assisiwas an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men\'s Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor, or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares.
It is very large (folio size), measuring approximately 10.5 x 14.5 inches (26.5 x 36.5 cm). The picture fills most of the page, with a Frenchcaption below.
The caption reads: St. Francois d\'assise préchant aux oiseaux which roughly translates to: St. Francis of Assisi preaching to the birds.
The page has some minor fox marks and mars in the outer white margin area. There is text below the picture (see scan) and unrelated text/photos on the back of the print. See scan for an accurate view of the condition.
