The "Stigmatization of St. Francis" is a celebrated fresco by the Italian artist Giotto di Bondone, created around 1300. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes that adorn the walls of the Basilica of Saint Francis in Assisi, Italy, which is dedicated to the life and miracles of St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Italian Catholic friar, mystic, and preacher. Giotto, widely regarded as a revolutionary figure in the history of painting, is credited with making significant contributions to the development of Italian Renaissance art through his innovative use of space, volume, and perspective, which brought a new level of realism to painting.

The "Stigmatization of St. Francis" depicts a pivotal moment in the life of St. Francis, when he is said to have received the stigmata, or the wounds of Christ, making him the first recorded person in Christian history to bear such marks. According to Catholic tradition, in 1224, while praying on the mountain of La Verna, St. Francis experienced a vision of a seraphic angel, and as a result, he miraculously received the wounds of Christ's crucifixion on his own body. Giotto's fresco captures this miraculous event with profound emotion and detail, emphasizing the spiritual intensity of the moment.

In the fresco, St. Francis is shown kneeling in prayer before the seraphic figure, with rays of light extending from the angel to Francis's hands, feet, and side, indicating the transference of the stigmata. The composition is balanced and harmonious, with the rugged landscape of La Verna providing a dramatic backdrop to the divine encounter. Giotto's mastery in depicting human emotion is evident in the serene yet pained expression on St. Francis's face, which conveys his deep devotion and the gravity of his mystical experience.

The "Stigmatization of St. Francis" is not only a testament to Giotto's artistic genius but also serves as a powerful visual representation of Franciscan spirituality and the ideals of humility, poverty, and closeness to nature that St. Francis espoused. This fresco, along with the other works in the Basilica of Saint Francis, played a crucial role in the development of narrative painting in Western art and continues to be studied and admired for its historical significance and aesthetic beauty.
