"San Francesco in Estasi" (St. Francis in Ecstasy) is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Bernardo Strozzi, which depicts the moment of spiritual rapture experienced by St. Francis of Assisi. Bernardo Strozzi (1581–1644), also known as Il Cappuccino and Il Prete Genovese, was a prominent Genoese painter who played a significant role in the early Baroque period, blending the realism of Caravaggio with the rich colors and expressive brushwork characteristic of the Venetian School.

The painting portrays St. Francis, the founder of the Franciscan order, in a moment of divine communion, reflecting the intense mysticism and piety that characterized his life. Strozzi's depiction of St. Francis is marked by a dramatic use of chiaroscuro, the strong contrast between light and dark, which serves to highlight the saint's ecstatic expression and the spiritual significance of the moment.

Strozzi's mastery of color and form is evident in the rich, warm tones of St. Francis's robe and the soft, diffused light that bathes the scene, creating a sense of otherworldly atmosphere. The saint's uplifted gaze and open arms suggest his complete surrender to the divine experience, while the detailed rendering of his features and the landscape background ground the work in the natural world.

"San Francesco in Estasi" is a testament to Strozzi's ability to convey complex emotional and spiritual states through his art. The painting not only reflects the religious fervor of the Counter-Reformation but also showcases the artist's skill in capturing the human experience of the divine. The work is an important example of Baroque religious art and contributes to our understanding of the period's aesthetic and devotional practices.

The painting is held in high regard for its artistic merit and its representation of St. Francis, a saint who has inspired countless artworks throughout history. "San Francesco in Estasi" remains a significant work for both its historical context and its enduring visual impact, exemplifying Strozzi's contribution to the Baroque movement and the broader canon of Western art.
