"St. Francis of Assisi" is a 1655 painting by Dutch Golden Age artist Gerbrand van den Eeckhout, who was a pupil of Rembrandt. The artwork depicts St. Francis of Assisi, the Catholic friar and preacher renowned for his love of animals and nature, in a moment of divine communion or ecstasy. Van den Eeckhout was known for his biblical scenes and this work is a testament to his ability to convey religious fervor and introspection.

The painting is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's focus to the central figure of the saint. This technique was a hallmark of Rembrandt's style, which van den Eeckhout adopted and adapted in his own work. "St. Francis of Assisi" exemplifies van den Eeckhout's skill in creating a mood of spiritual contemplation and his attention to detail in the rendering of textures and the natural environment.

In the painting, St. Francis is typically shown with the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, which he is said to have received as a sign of his deep identification with the suffering of Jesus. The saint's humble attire and the serene, yet rugged landscape that surrounds him further emphasize his ascetic and pious life.

"St. Francis of Assisi" by Gerbrand van den Eeckhout is an important work within the artist's oeuvre, offering insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of the 17th-century Dutch Republic. The painting is also a reflection of the broader European interest in the lives of saints and the depiction of mystical experiences during the Baroque period. This work is housed in a collection or museum that preserves and displays van den Eeckhout's contribution to Dutch art and the continuing legacy of his mentor, Rembrandt.
