"The Miracle of the Roses of Saint Francis of Assisi" is an 1829 painting by the German artist Johann Friedrich Overbeck, a prominent member of the Nazarene movement. This artwork is a representation of a popular legend associated with Saint Francis of Assisi, a revered Catholic saint known for his deep devotion to God and his love for nature and the poor.

The painting depicts the moment when Saint Francis, according to the legend, is caught by his father while secretly giving away cloth from his father's stock to the poor. To hide the merchandise, Francis is said to have prayed, and upon opening his cloak, the cloth was miraculously transformed into roses. Overbeck's interpretation of this miracle is characterized by the meticulous attention to detail and the use of bright, clear colors, which are hallmarks of the Nazarene style. The figures are rendered with a serene and spiritual quality, reflecting the Nazarenes' aim to revive the spirituality and purity of early Renaissance and medieval art.

Overbeck, born in Lübeck in 1789, was a central figure in the Nazarene movement, which sought to counteract what its members saw as the corrupting influence of Neoclassicism. The group emphasized religious and historical subjects, executed with simplicity and a focus on line and form. "The Miracle of the Roses of Saint Francis of Assisi" is a quintessential example of Overbeck's work and the Nazarene ethos, embodying a return to the devotional art of the past and a rejection of the secularization of art in the contemporary era.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its cultural and religious implications. It reflects the 19th-century interest in the Middle Ages and the desire to use art as a means of moral and spiritual edification. Today, the work is appreciated for its contribution to the German Romantic movement and its influence on religious art. It remains an important piece for understanding the development of 19th-century European art and the resurgence of religious themes during this period.
