Saint Francis; Book of Hours about 1430-1440. Additional Info:Saint Francis of Assisi kneels in prayer at the center of a lush green landscape representing Mount La Verna in Umbria, Italy where he prayed and fasted for forty days. During a moment of intense prayer, a crucified seraph, or six-winged angel, appeared to Francis and imprinted the stigmata - Christs Crucifixion wounds - on the saints body, shown here by the red lines that connect the seraphs wounds to Franciss hands, feet, and side. The saint embodies the attempts by late medieval Christians to spiritually imitate Christ using private prayer books, like this one, to focus their meditations on Jesuss life, teachings, and suffering.
