"Legend of St Francis- 12. Ecstasy of St Francis (detail)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created between 1297 and 1300. This work is part of a series of 28 frescoes that adorn the walls of the Upper Church of the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. These frescoes illustrate the life of St. Francis and are considered to be among Giotto's masterpieces, marking a significant development in the history of Western art.

The twelfth scene in the series, "Ecstasy of St Francis," captures a moment of spiritual transcendence in the life of the saint. It depicts St. Francis in a state of divine rapture, possibly after receiving the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, which was a pivotal event in his life. The detail of this particular fresco shows the saint with an expression of serene bliss, his eyes closed and his arms outstretched, as he is enveloped in a mystical experience.

Giotto's innovative approach to composition, use of space, and characterization through facial expressions and gestures, set new standards for narrative art. His ability to convey complex emotional states and to create a sense of three-dimensionality in his figures was revolutionary for the time. The "Ecstasy of St Francis" is a prime example of Giotto's skill in capturing the essence of a spiritual moment and the humanity of his subjects.

The frescoes in the Basilica of Saint Francis are considered a cornerstone in the development of Italian Renaissance painting. They reflect a departure from the stylized forms of Byzantine art towards a more naturalistic representation of figures and space. The "Legend of St Francis" series, and the "Ecstasy of St Francis" in particular, are celebrated for their narrative clarity and emotional depth, qualities that would influence generations of artists to come.
