"The Penitent 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 imbued with intense emotion and dramatic chiaroscuro. The painting portrays St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Catholic saint known for his deep devotion and penitence, in a moment of profound spiritual reflection or ecstasy.

Ribera, who spent most of his career in Italy, was heavily influenced by Caravaggio and the Caravaggisti, which is evident in the strong contrasts of light and shadow in this painting. "The Penitent St. Francis of Assisi" is characterized by its realistic representation of the saint's physical and emotional state, with a focus on his asceticism and the stigmata, which are wounds corresponding to those of Christ's crucifixion that St. Francis was said to have received miraculously.

The artwork is a testament to Ribera's skill in capturing the textures of skin, cloth, and the natural world, as well as his ability to convey the inner turmoil and piety of his subjects. The painting's exact date of creation is not definitively known, but it is generally placed within Ribera's mature period, when he had fully developed his distinctive style that combined the naturalism of his subjects with a heightened sense of drama.

"The Penitent St. Francis of Assisi" is held in high esteem among Ribera's oeuvre and is considered an important example of Spanish Baroque painting. It has been displayed in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of the religious and artistic climate of 17th-century Europe. The painting continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its portrayal of St. Francis, serving as a source of inspiration and devotion for viewers and scholars alike.
