St Francis of Assisi:
simple, humble devotion,
personal relationship with
God, love for all creatures

Lamentation- act of grief or
sorrow – story told “on
stage” that invites the
viewer into the scene
Use of SPACE, sense of depth without relying on painted architecture, MODELING,
WEIGHT and solid forms, EMOTION and personal grief, HUMANISM , placing man in a
naturalistic setting, are precursors to Italian Renaissance style !
