Mount

Nine small chapels stacked on the cliff above Subiaco, where Benedict of Nursia lived three years as a hermit around the year 500. Inside, frescoes by Roman, Sienese, and Umbrian masters have layered the walls over three hundred years. One small panel holds the earliest known portrait of Francis of Assisi, painted not long after he visited in 1223. The cliff faces north; the cave stays cool through August. Petrarch called it the threshold of paradise. The path from the parking still climbs through pine.

Slowly infused into the ceramic surface under high heat and pressure, in our family studio in Knoxville, Tennessee.
