"Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata" is an oil painting by Dutch artist Gerrit Pietersz. Sweelinck, also known as Gerrit van Amsterdam, who was active during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The artwork depicts the mystical experience of Saint Francis of Assisi, a revered Christian saint and founder of the Franciscan Order, who is said to have received the wounds of Christ, known as the stigmata, during a religious vision.

The painting captures the moment of divine intervention when Saint Francis, in deep contemplation or prayer, is marked with the wounds of Christ's crucifixion. Sweelinck's representation of this spiritual event is characterized by his use of dramatic lighting, detailed expression, and a rich color palette, which were typical of the Mannerist style that influenced many artists of his time. The composition often features Saint Francis in a secluded landscape, reflecting his connection with nature and his commitment to a life of poverty and piety.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not well-documented, it is generally attributed to the early 17th century, a period when religious subjects were prevalent in European art due to the Counter-Reformation, which sought to reaffirm Catholic doctrine through visual arts among other means. Sweelinck's interpretation of Saint Francis's stigmatization contributes to the rich array of artistic portrayals of the saint's life and mystical experiences, which have been a source of inspiration for artists throughout the centuries.

The painting is notable for its devotional impact and its place within the oeuvre of Gerrit Pietersz. Sweelinck, who was known for his religious and portrait paintings. "Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata" not only reflects the religious fervor of the period but also provides insight into the artistic conventions and spiritual concerns of the Dutch Golden Age. The current location of the painting, its provenance, and its influence on subsequent art and artists are subjects of interest for art historians and enthusiasts of religious art.
