18th C Wooden Sculpture of Francis of Paola

About the Item

Francis of Paola, O.M., (or: Francesco di Paola or Francis the Fire Handler; 27 March 1416 – 2 April 1507) was an Italian mendicant friar and the founder of the Roman Catholic Order of Minims. Unlike most founders of men's religious orders, and like his patron saint, Francis has never ordained a priest.
