"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is a painting attributed to the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, believed to have been created circa 1595. The artwork depicts St. Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan order and a revered figure in Catholicism, at the moment of receiving the stigmata, the wounds corresponding to those of Christ at the crucifixion. This event is said to have occurred to St. Francis in 1224 on the mountain of La Verna.

The painting is renowned for Caravaggio's dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his powerful representation of spiritual rapture. St. Francis is shown in a dark, wooded environment that enhances the mystical experience of the saint. The saint's expression is one of serene acceptance, his eyes closed and his hands open as he receives the divine marks. A cherubic figure, possibly an angel, is often interpreted as guiding the light of God onto St. Francis, illuminating his face and hands and creating a stark contrast with the surrounding darkness.

"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is considered one of Caravaggio's early works, showcasing his emerging style that would come to define Baroque painting. The piece is noted for its emotional depth and the realistic depiction of St. Francis, which departs from the more idealized representations of saints common in the art of the period. The painting's whereabouts have been a subject of interest, with its provenance being traced through various private collections and its current location often being in private hands or on loan to museums for special exhibitions.

The attribution of "St. Francis in Ecstasy" to Caravaggio has been a matter of scholarly debate, with some experts questioning the painting's authenticity due to the lack of contemporary documentation and stylistic inconsistencies with Caravaggio's verified works. Despite this, the painting continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and its portrayal of a pivotal moment in the life of St. Francis.
