The "Stigmata of St. Francis" is a notable fresco created by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Ghirlandaio between 1482 and 1485. This work is part of a larger cycle of frescoes that adorn the Sassetti Chapel in the church of Santa Trinita in Florence, Italy. Commissioned by the wealthy banker Francesco Sassetti, the frescoes in the chapel depict various scenes from the life of St. Francis of Assisi, reflecting both the religious devotion and the social status of the patron.

Ghirlandaio, a prominent figure in the Florentine art scene, was known for his detailed and realistic portrayal of figures and his ability to capture the essence of contemporary life within his religious compositions. In the "Stigmata of St. Francis," Ghirlandaio illustrates the moment when St. Francis receives the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, during his retreat on Mount Alverna. The fresco captures the mystical experience with a blend of naturalism and divine intervention, characteristic of Ghirlandaio's style.

The composition of the fresco is meticulously balanced, with St. Francis depicted in the foreground, kneeling in prayer, while an angelic figure appears in the sky, emanating rays of light that bestow the stigmata upon him. The surrounding landscape is rendered with careful attention to detail, showcasing Ghirlandaio's skill in integrating figures into their natural environment. The fresco also includes secondary figures and architectural elements that enhance the narrative and provide a sense of depth and perspective.

Ghirlandaio's work in the Sassetti Chapel, including the "Stigmata of St. Francis," is celebrated for its vibrant colors, intricate details, and the harmonious blend of sacred and secular themes. These frescoes not only serve as a testament to Ghirlandaio's artistic prowess but also offer valuable insights into the cultural and religious milieu of 15th-century Florence. The "Stigmata of St. Francis" remains an important example of Renaissance art, reflecting the period's artistic innovations and the enduring influence of Franciscan spirituality.
