St Francis And Nature, A Work Of Art Symbol Of Peace And Respect Stock Photography

The mastery of Apuan sculptors Pedrini of Carrara, Tuscany, Italy, has resulted in an extraordinary representation of Saint Francis of Assisi surrounded by his animals. Made of the finest white Carrara marble, this sculpture, a symbol of peace and respect for nature, is now ready to begin its travel to the United States and capture the attention of art lovers overseas. In the photo, the detail at the saint's feet of a small squirrel is intent on eating an acorn, a simple gesture that conveys a sense of deep connection between man and animal.
