The other day I was flipping through a book celebrating the life of St. Francis of Assisi and found this stunning image in it. It looks to have been a block print but unfortunately I can't figure out who the artist was or what year it was made. What I love about it so much is that it isn't the typical image of Francis (i.e. him standing with birds floating around him) but instead puts a new spin on his connection to animals, even in the sea. Right now I am working on recreating this image as a large 18x24 silkscreen print. I'll post it when its finished.
