The patron saint of ecologists in his most famous scenography, preaching to the birds. Reproduced here, from the original illustration and for the 1st time. Borrowed from Brian's book about the saint, published in 1995 by Oxford University Press.
The current pope, Jose Mario Bergoglio chose the name Francis in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. From a wealthy, aristocratic family, Francis famously gave up all his worldly riches to live with and like the poor.
