ROMANESQUE PAINTER, Italian
(active in 1220s)

St Francis of Assisi

before 1224
Fresco
Cappella di San Gregorio, Subiaco

In the Chapel of San Gregorio in the lower church at Subiaco can be found the earliest portrait of St Francis. This fresco represents him without halo and stigmata, therefore it was probably made before 1224, when he received the stigmata.
