About this work
Sheet with four book illustrations depicting scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Respectively: Francis lies on the road and asks a monk to walk over his throat; in the background he is led to the gallows, Francis preaches to the animals and birds, Francis tames the wolf of Gubbio and a farmer shakes Francis's hand upon which flames appear.
