A beautiful painting of Saint Francis of Assisi before a vision of the Virgin Mary standing atop a dragon, perhaps symbolizing the conquest of good over evil. Saint Francis wears the humble cloak associated with his order of monks and has a rope tied around his waist in place of a money belt to emphasize his rejection of material wealth as an expression of faith.[Seville], 1588-1589Call number: Ms. Codex 73http://ow.ly/oS6e30fhfNc***#KislakCenter #specialcollections #librariesofinstagram #Pennlibraries #painting #dragon #StFrancis #StMary #Spanish #Spain #illumination #manuscript -- source link
