"The grace of God, our savior, in these last days appeared in his
servant Francis to all who are truly humble and truly friends of
holy poverty." Bonaventure's Life of St. Francis Art historian
Timothy Verdon tells the story of the life of St. Francis of Assisi
in story and art. The 28 stunning thirteenth-century frescoes by
Giotto that cover the walls of the famous Basilica in Assisi named
for the saint are reproduced in full color, together with a
schematic drawing showing their placement in the church. Through
detailed descriptions and illuminating commentary on each of the
famous frescoes, Verdon tells the story of Francis's extraordinary
life, allowing today's reader the opportunity to "read" the art on
those walls in the same way that a medieval Christian might have
done.
