About the piece
This evocative mid-17th-century painting captures Saint Francis of Assisi in a state of spiritual ecstasy. Utilizing the intense light and deep shadows of the Baroque period, the work highlights the saint's expressive upward gaze and the tactile details of his humble habit and the crucifix held close to his chest.
