Great work, Amelia. Very edifying. Have you been to Assisi yourself? I was able to go last October to see these in person. It's remarkable how the context of Assisi itself - the features of the town - fill out the experience. Especially when you see the same buildings in Assisi depicted in some of the works.
Thank you Anthony! I haven’t been yet. Hopefully, some day…My parents went a couple of years ago and told me all about it. Assisi was my mom’s favorite place in all of Italy.
I went to Assisi a few years ago and I felt such a sense of wonder that in the middle of a world like ours—with greed, betrayal, fraud —comes Francis with his simplicity, boldness, and awe of God’s reality. Your essay on Giotto’s illustrations was like a little pilgrimage. Thank you.

Great work, thank you
Thank you Cody for the encouragement!
A wonderful retrospective and commentary on Giotto’s work! Thanks so much for sharing these.
