Description: Explores the early Renaissance in Italy through an examination of the life of St. Francis of Assisi and his impact upon the arts. Commentary from Franciscan monks and art historians in Italy and America suggests that the life and monastic rules of St. Francis of poverty, chastity, and obedience, inspired artists of the times to produce naturalistic depictions of the saint that conveyed a high degree of action and emotion.
