Painting Description
"Legend of St Francis- 5. Renunciation of Worldly Goods" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, painted between 1297 and 1299. It is part of a series of 28 frescoes depicting the life of St Francis of Assisi, located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of San Francesco d'Assisi in Assisi, Italy. This particular fresco, the fifth in the sequence, illustrates a pivotal moment in the life of St Francis: his decision to renounce all material possessions in pursuit of a life devoted to Christianity.
The scene captures the dramatic moment when Francis, in the central square of Assisi, strips off his rich clothes and hands them back to his father, Pietro di Bernardone, symbolizing his rejection of worldly goods and familial ties. The fresco shows an emotional contrast between the anguished father, who represents materialism and earthly concerns, and the serene, naked Francis, who is protected and covered by the bishop of Assisi, signifying the Church's support for his spiritual journey.
Giotto's mastery in the use of fresco technique and his innovative approach to narrative and emotional expression mark a significant departure from the Byzantine style prevalent in Italian painting prior to his time. "Renunciation of Worldly Goods" is celebrated for its dynamic composition, humanistic portrayal of characters, and its profound impact on the development of Renaissance art.
