"The Ecstasy of Saint Francis" is a renowned oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created in the 17th century. This work is emblematic of Zurbarán's religious-themed artistry, which often focused on the lives of saints and martyrs, reflecting the intense spirituality and mysticism of the Counter-Reformation period. The painting depicts Saint Francis of Assisi, the revered founder of the Franciscan Order, in a moment of divine rapture or ecstasy, a common theme in Baroque art that sought to visually convey the spiritual fervor and inner experiences of saints.

In "The Ecstasy of Saint Francis," Zurbarán masterfully employs chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast of light and shadow, to highlight the saint's expression and the folds of his humble monastic robes, creating a sense of depth and volume. The saint is typically shown with his eyes turned heavenward, hands clasped in prayer or bearing the stigmata—wounds mirroring those of Christ's crucifixion, which Francis was said to have received miraculously. The painting's composition, with its focus on the saint's intense emotional state and the use of naturalistic detail, is characteristic of Zurbarán's approach to religious subjects.

Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664) was a contemporary of Diego Velázquez and a figure of significant influence in the Spanish Golden Age of painting. His works are known for their spiritual intensity, simplicity of form, and the skillful use of light and shadow, which has often drawn comparisons to the works of Caravaggio. "The Ecstasy of Saint Francis" is considered one of Zurbarán's masterpieces and serves as a testament to his ability to convey the piety and asceticism of the monastic life, which he did with a realism that was both austere and deeply moving.

The painting is held in high regard not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the iconography of Saint Francis and the broader cultural understanding of religious ecstasy during the Baroque era. It remains a significant work for the study of Spanish art and the religious and cultural history of the period.
