Image of San Bernardino da Siena preaching, painted by Giovanni di ser Giovanni Guidi (mid 15th century). Bernardino is standing outside, in a little square or courtyard, on a wooden pulpit. He holds in his hand a round object inscribed with the IHS-monogram. A friar sits on the little stairs leading up to the pulpit, a boy or young man is leaning against one of the legs of the structure. A mixed audience, men and women, some standing, some sitting on a bench, are listening to the sermon or discussing it amongst themselves.
