About the Item

Baroque After Francisco Ruiz Gijon Saint Francis of Assisi Polychrome and Parcel Gilt Carved Wood, Insert Glass Eyes Spain, Late 17th Century Francisco Ruiz Gijón (Spanish, 1653 - 1720) was a renowned Spanish sculptor of the Baroque period. Born in Utrera, he became known, lived and created his remarkable sculptures in Seville. He belongs to the Andalusian school, following the style of Pedro Roldan. Gijon studied with sculptor Andrés Cansino and developed his artistic career in Seville. His works are exclusively religious. Francisco Ruiz Gijón worked for several Catholic churches and brotherhoods. His most important creations are related to the Holly Week processions in Seville. Giovanni di Pietro di Bernardone (c. 1181 – 3 October 1226), known as Saint Francis of Assisi, was an Italian mystic and Catholic friar who founded the religious order of the Franciscans. He was inspired to lead a Christian life of poverty as a beggar and itinerant preacher. One of the most venerated figures in Christianity, Francis was canonized by Pope Gregory on 16 July 1228. He is commonly portrayed wearing a brown habit with a rope tied around his waist, featuring three knots that symbolize the three Franciscan vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. In 1219, he went to Egypt in an attempt to convert the sultan al-Kamil and put an end to the conflict of the Fifth Crusade. In 1223, he arranged for the first live nativity scene as part of the annual Christmas celebration in Greccio. According to Christian tradition, in 1224 Francis received the stigmata during the apparition of a Sephardic angel angel in a religious ecstasy. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women's Oreder of St. Claire, the Third Order of St. Francis and the Custody of the Holy Land. Once his community was authorized by Pope Innocecent III, he withdrew increasingly from external affairs. St. Francis is associated with patronage of animals and the environment. It became customary for churches to hold ceremonies blessing animals on his feast day on the fourth of October. He is known for devotion to the Eucharist. Along with Catherine o Siena, he was designated patron saint of Italy. The city of San Francisco in California, United States, is named after him.
