For the Birds

June 27, 2021 Martha Lattie

Saint Francis and the Birds, 1935 by Sir Stanley Spencer.

St. Francis seems to be given a comical take as he appears to admonish the heavens for giving him the admiration of the animals, in this particular case, birds. The model for St. Francis was the artist's father who is shown wearing a bathrobe rather than the monk's robe St. Francis would have worn.
