Franciscan friar or Carmelite monk in brown habit makes a hand gesture of blessing. Late Gothic fresco in the Chiesa di Sant’Agostino in Volterra, Tuscany, Italy.
Volterra, Tuscany, Italy: A Franciscan friar or Carmelite monk wearing a brown habit makes a hand gesture of blessing in this detail of a Late Gothic fresco in the 13th Century Chiesa di Sant’Agostino (Church of Saint Augustine) in Piazza XX Settembre. Although the church of the Augustinian Friars is still consecrated, it now hosts the Museo Diocesano d’Arte Sacra (Diocesan Museum of Sacred Art). The collection, previously housed in part of the bishop’s palace, combines medieval and later Christian artworks from Volterra Cathedral with art from other parish churches in the city and works from parishes throughout the wider Diocese.
