description: Exquisitely embellished in gold, imbued with the vibrant palette of the Renaissance, and painstakingly rendered on bass wood panels, Brother Wolf embraces the spirit of its time. An old wolf terrorizes the villagers of Gubbio-until Saint Francis brings about a peace between man and animal. This inspiring and favorite legend is richly illuminated and lovingly depicted by a new artist of great talent. A storyteller's ear informs a tale whose gentle message of spirituality and the brotherhood of all living things will strike a resonant chord. Those familiar with art history will delight in finding images which quote famous paintings; all others will simply delight.
