"San Francesco e l'angelo" (Saint Francis and the Angel) is a notable painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the 17th century, this artwork exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious subjects with a dramatic use of light and shadow, a characteristic of the Tenebrist style that emerged during the Baroque period.

The painting portrays Saint Francis of Assisi, a revered Catholic saint known for his piety and humility, in a moment of divine interaction with an angel. Ribera's depiction of Saint Francis often reflects the saint's mystical experiences and the intensity of his faith. In "San Francesco e l'angelo," the artist captures the emotional exchange between the mortal and the divine, with Saint Francis typically shown in a state of contemplation or ecstasy.

Ribera's work is distinguished by its realistic representation of human figures and the tactile quality of textures, which in this painting can be seen in the rendering of Saint Francis's coarse robe and the delicate features of the angel. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and depth, is a hallmark of Ribera's paintings and contributes to the dramatic atmosphere of the scene.

While the exact date of creation for "San Francesco e l'angelo" is not definitively known, Ribera's works featuring Saint Francis are often dated to the mid-1620s to the 1630s, a period during which he produced some of his most celebrated religious compositions. The painting is a testament to Ribera's influence in the Spanish and Neapolitan schools of painting and his contribution to the Baroque movement.

"San Francesco e l'angelo" is an important work within Ribera's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. It remains an exemplary piece of Baroque art, reflecting the spiritual fervor and artistic innovation of the era. The painting is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a valuable piece of cultural heritage, often featured in exhibitions and art collections that focus on the Baroque period and religious art.
