Saint Clare of Assisi After many hours of scrolling through many different saints, one specific saint stood out to me. Her name was Saint Clare.

When she was eighteen years old she heard Saint Francis speak and asked him to help her live according to the gospel. She left home and went to the chapel of Porziuncula where Francis cut off her hair and gave her a robe to wear. Then she joined the convent of Benedictine

    Also she wanted people to continue talking about her, spreading her story of love and faith and if she became a saint she would be praised, but sadly it seems, forgotten. Once she gets the highest title of saint most people would believe she reached her peak and stop following her movements.

The use of frill and extravagance in art in this period has become less of a question of ‘why’ and more of a question ‘where is the extra?’, because this part in history is centered around adding extra ornamentation to everything.
