medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
There is in the collection of the Loyola Museum of Art in Chicago a late
fifteenth-century altarpiece by the Circle of Lorenzo Salimbeni that depicts
in its lower register a cardinal kneeling in prayer before a crucifix with a
corpus. The cardinal has the marks of the stigmata on his hands. The
museum's object card identifies the figure as St. Francis, but surely he was
never depicted as a cardinal. In the painting, his hat sits on the ground
next to him. Does anyone on the list know who else this might be?
