Capuchinhos · Canticle of the Creatures

The wall of the Capuchinhos Museum, in Caxias do Sul, painted by six visual artists from the city. The work marks the 800 years of the Canticle of the Creatures, by Saint Francis of Assisi.

The work was paid for by a whip-round organised by the museum's director, Friar Celso Bordignon. A mural with six different hands is the kind of thing that goes wrong when everyone pulls their own way, and stitching the sections together is half the job.
