St Louis of Toulouse (detail)Pinturicchio

In this detail (1484–86), Pinturicchio depicts St Louis of Toulouse, a Franciscan bishop and royal prince, reading the Scriptures. His richly embroidered cope features saints, symbolizing his dual authority as noble and friar. The scene links Louis’ renunciation of power to St. Bernardino’s Franciscan ideals of humility and service.
