Art Theft at S. Giovanni de Butris

This fresco was probably never that good, but it's still a shame. St. Francis's face has been carefully cut out.

[image ALT: zzz]

The saint is still recognizable from his robe and his bare feet bearing the stigmata. (The one robe St. Francis owned, by the way, has come down to us: lovingly preserved in the Basilica at Assisi, it is a moving sight.)

Images with borders lead to more information.
The thicker the border, the more information. (Details here.)
