"The Stigmatization of St. Francis (predella 1)" is a notable work by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Veneziano, created around 1445. This painting is part of a predella, which is a series of small panels located below the main images of an altarpiece. Veneziano's work is celebrated for its use of light and color, which was innovative for its time and indicative of the early Renaissance shift towards naturalism and away from the more rigid and stylized forms of the medieval period.

The painting depicts the miraculous event in the life of St. Francis of Assisi when he received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, during a religious ecstasy. This momentous event is said to have occurred in 1224 on Mount La Verna in Italy and has been a popular subject in Christian art, symbolizing Francis's close identification with the suffering of Christ.

Domenico Veneziano's interpretation of this scene is notable for its serene landscape and the gentle portrayal of St. Francis. The saint is typically shown in a moment of divine connection, often with rays of light indicating the presence of the divine. Veneziano's use of color and attention to detail in the surrounding landscape reflects the growing interest in the natural world and the use of perspective that were hallmarks of the Renaissance.

The original location and the complete composition of the altarpiece to which "The Stigmatization of St. Francis (predella 1)" belonged are not fully documented, which is common for many works of this period. However, the surviving panel is an important example of Domenico Veneziano's artistry and provides insight into the religious and artistic culture of 15th-century Italy.

Today, the painting is appreciated not only for its religious significance but also for its artistic merit, as it showcases the transition from the Gothic style to the more lifelike and humanistic approach that characterizes the Renaissance. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered an important piece within Domenico Veneziano's oeuvre.
