From the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst
Monk is a 1735 by Unknown, depicting Francis of Assisi, held at Statens Museum for Kunst.
This photo shows a bearded man in a dark robe, kneeling with his hands clasped. His face is turned slightly away, looking down, and his expression is serious. To his left, a small cross is visible near his shoulder. The image is mostly in black and white, with strong contrasts between light and shadow. This makes the figure stand out against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro to learn more about this lighting technique.
