"The Vision of Saint Francis, after Guercino by Francesco Bartolozzi" is an engraving by the Italian artist Francesco Bartolozzi, created after a painting by the renowned Baroque painter Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, known as Guercino. This work of art depicts the moment of spiritual ecstasy experienced by Saint Francis of Assisi, a seminal figure in Christian mysticism and the founder of the Franciscan Order. The original painting by Guercino, which was created in the 17th century, captures the intensity of Saint Francis's vision, and Bartolozzi's engraving translates this religious fervor into a finely detailed print.

Francesco Bartolozzi (1727–1815) was an Italian engraver, whose works are considered some of the most sophisticated and sought-after prints of the 18th century. He was known for his stipple engravings, a technique that uses dots, rather than lines, to create an image. Bartolozzi's engravings often reproduced the works of other artists, and his interpretation of Guercino's "The Vision of Saint Francis" is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of the original while adding his own artistic flair.

The engraving portrays Saint Francis in a moment of divine revelation, often characterized by the appearance of seraphic figures or the reception of the stigmata, the wounds of Christ. The composition likely reflects the intense emotional and spiritual experience of the saint, rendered with the dramatic chiaroscuro and dynamic forms typical of Baroque art. Bartolozzi's work not only pays homage to Guercino's original painting but also contributes to the dissemination and appreciation of the Baroque style through the medium of printmaking.

"The Vision of Saint Francis, after Guercino by Francesco Bartolozzi" is an important work within the oeuvre of Bartolozzi and serves as a significant example of the cultural exchange between artists and the enduring influence of religious iconography in art. It stands as a representation of the collaborative nature of art, where one artist's vision is reinterpreted and immortalized by another, bridging different artistic periods and techniques.
