"St. Francis of Assisi" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Tenebrist painter Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in the 17th century, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious figures with a profound sense of humanity and emotion. The painting portrays St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Catholic saint known for his deep spirituality and connection with nature, in a moment of contemplative ecstasy or prayer.

Ribera's representation of St. Francis is marked by the artist's characteristic use of dramatic chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to direct the viewer's attention to the focal points of the composition. The saint is typically shown with the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, which he is believed to have received miraculously, and this painting is no exception. Ribera's attention to texture and detail is evident in the depiction of St. Francis's humble garb and the rugged landscape that often accompanies portrayals of the saint.

The painting is a testament to Ribera's skill in combining the physical and spiritual realms, capturing the intensity of St. Francis's faith through his expressive use of light, shadow, and gesture. As a significant work in Ribera's oeuvre, "St. Francis of Assisi" contributes to our understanding of the Counter-Reformation's impact on art, where religious works were intended to inspire piety and devotion in the viewer.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, which was then part of the Spanish Empire, was heavily influenced by Caravaggio and became a leading figure of the Neapolitan school of painting. "St. Francis of Assisi" reflects the international nature of 17th-century art, where ideas and stylistic elements transcended borders, contributing to the rich tapestry of Baroque art. The painting is an important piece for both its artistic merit and its role in the broader context of European art history.
