From the Art Institute of Chicago record
Saint Francis kneels before Pope Innocent III as he sanctioned the establishment of the Franciscan order by his gesture. By the time of the Counter-Reformation, these were cornerstone traditions that reformers such as Cardinal Carlo Borromeo upheld in their reevaluation of the Roman Catholic faith after the Council of Trent.
