About the Item

"Sister Water" - St Francis of Assisi Linocut Wood Black pring of St Francis by Italian artist (printer of Assisi) Gastone Vignati (Italian, 20C) St Francis of Assisi Linocut depicting St. Francis as the focal point, standing in front of a waterfall, with flowers beneath him and three birds in the sky above him. St Francis is wearing a white hooded robe and a rope belt while he holds both of his hands in the air, with his face looking up towards the waterfall. From the Canticle of the Creatures by St. Francis of Assisi. Titled "Sorella Cascada" (Italian) meaning "Sister Waterfall" lower left. Signed "Vignati" lower right. Stamped lower right corner. Presented in a dark wood frame. Image: 18.5"H x 14.5"W Mat size: 16"H x 12"W Paper size: 13.5"H x 9.5"W Over eighty years old, Gastone Vignati is a retired printer now doing what he loves: lineoleum-block prints of “the city I so love, my Assisi”. As a young boy, Vignati worked alongside his father in the family print shop as his father had once done with his father. Pino and I came to the Assisi in the mid’1970’s and I still remember the print shop near the main square with the noise of all the machines, the smell of ink. Signor Vignati might have been working there then but I only have a vague memory of him. He probably looked much as he does today: no wrinkles yet in his face. Type-set of the Vignati family, over 100 years old When you are walking along the Via San Francesco, do stop in at the Arte Stampa (“art of printing”) shop. If Signor Vignati is there, he will proudly show you the presses and the type-set which have been in the family for over one hundred years. He might even show you how he creates his linoleum-block prints.
