"It is claimed to be a work of Cimabue's old age, and to be the only known portrayal of the Saint by someone whose life overlapped with his, and who perhaps might have seen him." - Francis of Assisi died at 1226, Cimabue is born at 1240. Then, how is possible?--Darsie 06:23, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Cimabue visited the body of Francis while flesh was still on his bones. HOWEVER, X-Rays reveal in addition to the stylistic differences (techniques not yet discovered by artists of Cimabue's time) that an unknown hand clearly touched up the work ages later. 67.82.13.55 14:12, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] discovering Giotto
I edited it so it states He is also popularly known as the artist who discovered Giotto. The tale that Vasari writes of is so unlikely that I can not stand to see it as stated as truth. 67.82.13.55 14:15, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
