About the piece
Painted around 1600 by the Mannerist master El Greco, this work depicts Saint Francis of Assisi in a moment of profound spiritual rapture. The composition is defined by the artist’s characteristic elongated forms and a dramatic, ghostly light that descends from the heavens. Accompanied by a memento mori skull, the saint is shown receiving the stigmata, rendered with the intense emotional fervor that defines El Greco’s late period.
