Painting Description
"Legend of St Francis- 22. Verification of the Stigmata (detail 2)" is a fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created around 1300 as part of a series depicting the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Located in the Upper Church of the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi, Italy, this particular work illustrates a significant event in the life of the saint: the verification of the stigmata, or the wounds of Christ, which St. Francis was said to have received miraculously.
The fresco is one of 28 scenes painted by Giotto and his workshop that adorn the walls of the nave and transept of the basilica. These scenes are considered some of the earliest and most important works of the Italian Renaissance, marking a departure from the Byzantine style of the Middle Ages and heralding a new naturalism in art. Giotto's frescoes in Assisi are celebrated for their emotional depth, use of space, and depiction of human figures with weight and volume.
In "Verification of the Stigmata," Giotto captures the moment when the authenticity of St. Francis's stigmata is confirmed by his fellow friars and other witnesses. The fresco is noted for its dramatic composition and the skillful rendering of the figures' expressions, which convey a sense of awe and reverence. Giotto's use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene and focuses the viewer's attention on the central event.
As a key work in the development of Western art, "Legend of St Francis- 22. Verification of the Stigmata (detail 2)" exemplifies Giotto's innovative approach to narrative and his ability to create a powerful visual story that resonates with viewers. The fresco remains an object of study for art historians and a source of inspiration for artists, reflecting Giotto's enduring influence on the visual arts.
