From the rose garden, one enters the Rose Chapel. This was the cell where St. Francis rested and spent the rest of the night in prayer and penance. Here St. Francis also met Saint Anthony of Padua. After his death a chapel was built in the 13th century and enlarged in the 15th century by St. Bernardine of Siena.
Anthony of Padua, OFM, (Portuguese: António/Antônio de Pádua; Italian: Antonio di/da Padova; Latin: Antonius Patavinus) or Anthony of Lisbon (Portuguese: António/Antônio de Lisboa; Italian: Antonio da/di Lisbona; Latin: Antonius Olisiponensis; born Fernando Martins de Bulhões; 15 August 1195 – 13 June 1231) [1] [2] was a Portuguese Catholic priest and member of the Order of Friars Minor.
The top third is mostly blue sky with white clouds, though the figure of Saint Anthony also extends into this area. The bottom two-thirds depict the sea, shoreline, and crowd of bystanders. Veronese places Saint Anthony atop a rock, raising him above the bystanders and focusing attention on his figure.

The artist presents Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscans, in prayer, he is kneeled with folded hands, on a rock. The cross and the skull are two elements typical of Francis of Assisi's iconography. The mystical contact with God is presented by the light that emanates from the sky.
Within the article, mention should be made of whether or not Saint Francis did indeed author the prayer. Assuming that Saint Francis did not author this prayer, and that its title is a misnomer, "Prayer of Saint Francis" is nonetheless the commonly known, accepted, and used title. (Joseph A.
