A great new biography of St. Francis of Assisi by Fr. Augustine Thompson, OP, who posts here now and then. Learn about the saint after whom Pope Francis purposely chose his name.
Help Monks in Wyoming, Fr. Z, and get great coffee too!

How very beautiful, Fr. Z! As it just so happens Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld is one of my very favorite artists. Have never seen this one before though, and I enjoyed seeing it here immensely. Thank you.
Thank you for posting, Fr. Z! The painting is exquisite! I love the rays of light!
Seeing the artist names, I thought immediately of the Wagnerian tenor (Ludwig) who was the nephew of Ludwig Ferdinand. Interesting that one must go to Deutsche Wikipedia for an article on Ludwig Ferdinand.
Lovely painting. I wonder if the rays of light represent the Holy Spirit? Our Lady is the Spouse of the Holy Spirit.
Hmm, which one did the wall, floor, step and pillars, and which one did the people?
Or did one do the right half and the other the left half? But that would be too obvious.
Or maybe I’m misinterpreting “with” in reference to the second name? Perhaps one was the model? Or those were the two models and the artist is the infamous medieval artist Anonymous?
Lovely charming painting! Although it is a mother and daughter, I immediately thought of Blanche showing her son the tabernacle and telling the young saint, Louis IX of France, “I would rather see you dead at my feet than that you should ever commit a mortal sin…”
