St Francis of Assisi Capuchin

This 17th-c. oil painting depicts St Francis in contemplative prayer, robed in the austere Capuchin habit. The artist subtly emphasizes the Franciscan vow of equality: his fingers are rendered identical, symbolizing that no one stands above another before God. A quiet yet profound gesture of radical humility.
