This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting St. Francis imploring Pope Honorius III for the Confirmation of the Indulgence. Created by Ilario da Viterbo in 1393, this fresco is located within the Porziuncola, a small church nestled inside the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli near Assisi, Italy.

In this powerful image, we witness St. Francis pleading with heartfelt intensity before Pope Honorius III (1148-1227), who sits on his pontiff throne.
