De la spiritualité franciscaine à une iconographie qui a marqué l’art de Toscane aux XIII-e et XIV-e siècles
From a Franciscan Spirituality to an Iconography that Marqued Tuscan Art between the 13th-14th Centuries

Summary/Abstract: The icon of Saint Francis of Assisi has become almost initiatory inthe iconography of Tuscany, an area belonging to the chasm of the greatculture of the Middle Ages. It is enough to say Florence, Siena, Cortona, Pisaor San Miniato to enter the bright labyrinth of acknowledgement of theFranciscan icon which has universal value.Being a breviary including masters and places embellished by the Franciscanicon, the present study aims, through a historical and an aesthetic perspective,to restore both Saint Francis’ personality and his entire mystical and asceticinfluence on the field of medieval iconography, which sprung from his realpresence, during his spiritual layovers that became landmarks of a trulyremarkable heritage. It is a joint work of two Christian authors, namely aCatholic and an Orthodox, who work to identify communication paths in theanthropology of the icon and in spiritual aesthetics
