"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, believed to have been created circa 1595. The work depicts St. Francis of Assisi, a medieval friar known for his piety and humility, at a moment of mystical ecstasy. Caravaggio, renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic approach to human figures and emotions, captures the intensity of St. Francis's spiritual experience with a striking interplay of light and shadow.

The painting shows St. Francis in a remote, rocky landscape, a setting that emphasizes the saint's withdrawal from the world to seek divine communion. His eyes are closed, his hands are open, and his face is lifted upwards, as if he is receiving a vision or divine inspiration. The detail of the work focuses on the expression of rapture and the tactile quality of his rough garment, which contrasts with the softness of his skin and the ethereal light that seems to envelop him.

"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is significant not only as an example of Caravaggio's early work but also as a reflection of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the intense, individual experience of faith. The painting's emotional resonance and its innovative use of naturalistic detail mark it as a pivotal piece in the development of Baroque art.

The exact location and provenance of "St. Francis in Ecstasy" have been a matter of some debate among art historians, and the painting has been the subject of extensive scholarly research. Its influence can be seen in the works of later artists who were inspired by Caravaggio's revolutionary approach to religious subjects. Today, the painting is celebrated for its artistic mastery and its profound depiction of religious fervor, making it a key work in the oeuvre of one of the most influential painters of the Baroque era.
