From his native Umbria, Saint Francis's image spread rapidly to become a global phenomenon and a continuous source of artistic fascination. His commitment to the poor, powerful appeals for peace, openness to dialogue with other religions and embryonic environmentalism radically impacted the Church and society of his time, and still hold great interest today. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Spanning seven centuries and ranging from the earliest, relic-like objects to contemporary art in a variety of media, including works by Antony Gormley, Giuseppe Penone and a new commission from Richard Long, \u003ci\u003eSaint Francis of Assisi \u003c\/i\u003ereflects on the lasting legacy of Saint Francis - an inherently modern figure who retains a universal appeal. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Published by National Gallery Global\/Distributed by Yale University Press \u003cp\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eExhibition Schedule: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The National Gallery, London, 6 May-30 July 2023 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriele Finaldi, Joost Joustra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1857096932\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781857096934\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Gallery Global Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/20\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.95h x 8.97w x 0.93d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/01\/2024","brand":"Gabriele Finaldi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080374907135,"sku":"9781857096934","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b6a258bb-5c07-45c2-bb12-39aa674cd7a8.jpg?v=1685486452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/saint-francis-of-assisi-gabriele-finaldi-9781857096934","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
