Anthony Meets St. Francis (detail)

André and Paul Rault, Rennes, France

circa 1962

Why is Anthony pink, while Francis is white? Did they meet in the course of their lives? It is certain that Anthony heeded Francis' message of peace. The bird in this window seems to represent those who came to Francis' hand, rather than the Holy Spirit. The mix of colours is at once overpowering and oddly harmonious.
