Painting Description
The "Stigmatisation of St Francis" is a notable painting created in 1657 by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Herrera the Younger. This work is a profound representation of the mystical experience of St. Francis of Assisi, a pivotal figure in Catholicism known for his devout piety and connection to nature. The painting captures the moment when St. Francis received the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, during a vision of a seraphic angel while he was praying on Mount Alverna.
Francisco de Herrera the Younger, born in 1622, was a prominent painter of the Spanish Golden Age, known for his dynamic compositions and vigorous brushwork. He was the son of Francisco de Herrera the Elder, also a distinguished painter, and initially trained under his father before developing his own distinctive style. Herrera the Younger’s works are characterized by their dramatic intensity and vivid realism, qualities that are vividly evident in the "Stigmatisation of St Francis."
In this painting, Herrera employs a rich palette and dramatic chiaroscuro to heighten the emotional impact of the scene. St. Francis is depicted in a moment of divine ecstasy, his face illuminated by a heavenly light that contrasts sharply with the darker, more subdued tones of the surrounding landscape. The seraphic angel, rendered with ethereal grace, hovers above, connecting the earthly and the divine. The composition is carefully balanced, drawing the viewer’s eye towards the central figure of St. Francis and the miraculous event taking place.
The "Stigmatisation of St Francis" not only exemplifies Herrera the Younger’s mastery of Baroque techniques but also reflects the deep spiritual fervor of the Counter-Reformation period in Spain. This painting is a testament to the enduring influence of St. Francis of Assisi and the powerful role of religious art in conveying complex theological concepts and inspiring devotion among the faithful.
