About the piece
Created around 1614, this late work by El Greco depicts Saint Francis of Assisi in a moment of spiritual meditation, holding a skull as a memento mori. Beside him, Brother Leo kneels in prayer. The painting exhibits the artist's characteristic elongated figures and luminous, flickering light, creating a profound sense of devotion and mystery.
