Today in class, we went over works from a plethora of artists, but the Sassetti Chapel with the Life of St. Francis most interested me. St. Francis as a character is very unique. St. Francis left his home and family to become a hermit, ultimately deciding on becoming an itinerant preacher. His focus for preaching was the value of poverty and gratitude, and throughout his career, St. Franic gained a large amount of followers. Therefore, it makes sense that he was canonized two years after his death, which is a very fast timeline. The Life of St. Franic is an altarpiece with paneled narration. My favorite panel is the miraculous resurrection of a child. Not only does this symbolize the legacy of St. Francis, but it also has an interesting representation of him from the afterlife. We have not come across a lot of dead saints in the real world, but the way in which St. Francis spirit was represented was both logical and creative.
