"Der Heilige Franziskus" is a notable artwork by Italian Baroque painter Francesco Cairo. The painting, whose title translates to "Saint Francis" in English, is a vivid representation of Francis of Assisi, a revered Catholic saint known for his devotion to poverty and love of nature. Cairo, born in 1607 in Lombardy, Italy, was a prominent figure in the Italian Baroque period, and his works are characterized by their dramatic intensity and emotional depth.

"Der Heilige Franziskus" is a testament to Cairo's mastery of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects. The painting depicts Saint Francis in a moment of deep contemplation or ecstasy, a common theme in representations of this saint. Cairo's skillful use of light and shadow not only enhances the physical realism of the figure but also contributes to the overall spiritual and emotional intensity of the scene.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during Cairo's mature period, which spanned from the late 1630s to the 1650s. During this time, Cairo's style evolved to incorporate more dramatic lighting and a greater emphasis on psychological insight, both of which are evident in "Der Heilige Franziskus."

The painting is held in a private collection and is not frequently exhibited, contributing to its relative obscurity. However, it remains a significant work within Cairo's oeuvre and provides valuable insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the Italian Baroque period.
