Description

The work was commissioned and painted together with Sant'Antonio da Padova, both of them of the same size. This light painting reflecting on the style of Siena's painter Simone Martini was reinterpreted by Silvia Salavadori, imagining the saint inside a Gothic-shaped frame and decorated with a pastel with rose-shaped plant elements. The beautiful face of St. Francis, was painted by Silvia with great precision in the details in the beard, in the marble floor and in the soft décor of the sail. Painted according to the original pictorial technique of the Sienese school of the 14th century. Tempera on Gold ornaments, bouquet decorations and pastilles on gold.
