About the Item
The Humble Path: Portrait of a Franciscan Monk, Plate 45, 1862
This beautifully hand-colored lithograph, 'The Humble Path: Portrait of a Franciscan Monk,' Plate 45 from *Album ou Collection Complète, et Historique des Costumes de la Cour de Rome* by G. Perugini, portrays a Franciscan monk, characterized by his simple and humble attire. The figure is draped in the traditional brown robe of the Franciscan order, cinched with a corded belt symbolizing the three vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Sandals, indicative of a life of austerity, complete the outfit. The monk is depicted holding a small book, possibly a breviary, reflecting his devotion to prayer and study.
The serene expression and downcast gaze of the figure evoke the humility and piety associated with the Franciscan Order, which was founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in the early 13th century.
Historical Context:
The Franciscan monks, renowned for their commitment to poverty and service, played a significant role in the Catholic Church's mission of education and care for the poor. Their simple attire stands in stark contrast to the ornate costumes of higher-ranking clergy depicted in other plates within this collection, highlighting their dedication to a life of humility and spiritual devotion.
Provenance:
This lithograph was printed by Lith. A. Lemaître in Paris and forms part of a comprehensive collection showcasing the attire and roles within the Vatican's court and ecclesiastical hierarchy during the 19th century. The *Album ou Collection Complète* is an invaluable resource for understanding the social and religious fabric of the Papal States during this period.
An excellent representation of religious devotion, this print will appeal to collectors and enthusiasts of ecclesiastical art and Franciscan history.
