About the piece
Created around 1650 by Filippo Lauri, this Baroque masterpiece captures the spiritual intensity of Saint Francis of Assisi. Seated in a somber landscape with a memento mori skull, the saint is visited by a radiant angel playing a violin, surrounded by a host of delicate cherubim that break through the dark, atmospheric background in a display of masterful chiaroscuro.
