Riding Saint Martin sharing his cloak with a beggar 1531 Loire valley France French. ( One night in an unusually severe winter, Martin met a beggar at the gates of the City of Amiens and, having nothing but his arms and the plain garment of a soldier, he prayed that those passing would have compassion on the naked man. However, no one came to his aid and so Martin, taking his sword, cut his cloak in two and gave half to the beggar. That night Martin had a dream in which the risen Christ was wearing half a cloak and telling his angels that Martin had given it to him. )
