这本具有里程碑意义的书籍深入探讨了阿西西（1182-1226）的圣方济各的生平、形象及其恒久的吸引力，并精选了一系列重要历史画作，包括乔托、萨塞塔、卡拉瓦乔、苏巴朗和埃尔·格列柯等大师以圣方济各为主题的作品。圣方济各出生于翁布里亚，其形象迅速传播至全球，成为艺术领域持续关注的焦点。他致力于扶贫、强烈呼吁和平、开放与其他宗教对话，并初步提出了环境保护的理念，这些都对当时的教会和社会产生了深远影响，至今仍具有重大意义。

本书跨越七个世纪，从最早的遗物般的物品到当代各种媒介的艺术作品，包括安东尼·葛姆雷、朱塞佩·佩诺内以及理查德·朗的新作，全面反思了圣方济各·亚西西的永恒遗产——他是一位具有内在现代性且拥有普遍吸引力的人物。

Exploring the life, imagery and lasting appeal of Saint Francis of Assisi (1182–1226), this landmark book features a core of important historic paintings representing the saint by Giotto, Sassetta, Caravaggio, Zurbarán and El Greco. 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.

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, Saint Francis of Assisi reflects on the lasting legacy of Saint Francis – an inherently modern figure who retains a universal appeal.
