Lombardy school of the first half of the 19th century. Pilgr - Lot 38
Lombardy school of the first half of the 19th century. Pilgrims at the hermitage of Speco di Sant'Urbano. Oil on canvas. Damage. H_18 cm L_ 24 cm. The hermitage of Speco di Sant'Urbano, founded by the Benedictines around the year 1000, is one of the most beautiful hermitages in the Rieti valley. Francis of Assisi stayed here several times from 1213. He sought solitude here to pray, and enjoyed secluding himself in the woods and sinking into the large cleft of a rock, the speco. When illness prevented him from reaching the church, his companions built a small stone cell and oratory nearby. The hermitage included an oratory dedicated to St. Sylvester, next to a megalith that attests to the ancient presence of a place of worship. Sale by appointment
