Virgin and child, fresco, detail, 15th century, in the small church built by St Bernardino of Siena in the early 15th century, at the Eremo delle Carceri, a hermitage site in a gorge on Monte Subasio 4km from Assisi, Umbria, Italy. St Francis visited here for prayer and it developed from an original 12th century oratory to a site with hermit caves, a small friary and church. Picture by Manuel Cohen
