This volume brings together contemporary creativity, nature, ethics and spirituality through works from the museum’s collection and new, previously unseen commissions. At the heart of the catalogue lies not only the iconic figure of the saint, but his view of the world and the universal message of the Canticle of the Creatures. Artists from different generations reinterpret themes such as our relationship with the environment, fragility, care and coexistence among living beings. The volume includes critical essays, descriptions of the works on display and a dedicated bibliography, offering a journey rich in insights, images and reflections that provides new tools for interpreting the contemporary world.
