Dante and the Franciscan Third Order
Three figures raise their hands towards a larger dark-robed figure, with a richly patterned wall behind them. The book identifies Dante representing the third order of the Franciscans and attributes the image to Giotto. The photographic credit reads Benvenuti, Assisi. The subject and attribution are retained as this historical book presents them, making the reproduced detail part of its visual account of Dante.
