Description

This inspired collection of over sixty original paintings and stone carvings by Greg Tricker portrays the human suffering, exultation, compassion and joy of the life of St Francis; with their visionary quality, they present a fresh, contemporary image of St Francis. The plates, many of which have not been seen before, are complemented by a lively text on the historical background and life of St. Francis by Swedish craftsman Johannes Steuck, and a spirited introduction by writer and philosopher Jeremy Naydler, whose books include Goethe on Science and two volumes on ancient Egyptian religion.
