  • Panel from the Saint Francis altarpiece
  • Saint Francis wears the belted clerical garb of the order he founded, holds a large book, displays the stigmata, and is flanked by two angels.
  • I chose this piece because it sheds light on aspects of style as well as the increasingly prominent role of religious orders in Italy.
