San Francesco In Preghiera, also known as Saint Francis in Prayer, is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Lodovico Cardi, commonly known as Cigoli. Created in the early 17th century, this work exemplifies Cigoli's mastery in combining dramatic realism with spiritual intensity, a hallmark of the Baroque period. The painting portrays Saint Francis of Assisi, the revered founder of the Franciscan Order, in a moment of deep, contemplative prayer.

Cigoli's depiction of Saint Francis is both intimate and evocative, capturing the saint's profound connection with the divine. The composition is characterized by its use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth. This method not only highlights the physical form of Saint Francis but also underscores the spiritual illumination he experiences during his prayer. The saint is typically shown in a humble, kneeling position, with his gaze directed upwards, symbolizing his devotion and the transcendental nature of his communication with God.

The background of the painting is often rendered in dark, muted tones, which serves to draw the viewer's attention to the illuminated figure of Saint Francis. This focus on the central figure is a common feature in Baroque art, where the emotional and spiritual essence of the subject is paramount. Cigoli's attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the saint's facial expressions and the texture of his simple robe, further enhances the painting's realism and emotional impact.

San Francesco In Preghiera is celebrated for its ability to convey the intense piety and humility of Saint Francis, making it a significant work in the study of Baroque religious art. Cigoli's skillful use of light and shadow, combined with his sensitive portrayal of the saint, ensures that this painting remains a powerful testament to the spiritual fervor of the Baroque era.
