"St. Francis de Sales 1567-1622 in the Desert" is an Italian Baroque period painting by Marcantonio Franceschini, a prominent Bolognese painter of the late 17th Century. The work is a vivid of the life of Saint Francis de Sales, a Catholic bishop and Doctor of the Church, known for his deep faith and his gentle approach to the religious divisions in his land resulting from the Protestant Reformation.

In the painting, Franceschini illustrates the saint meditating in the desert, as opposed to his usual place among the faithful. The use of the desert in this context serves as a symbol for solitude, inner reflection, and spiritual purification, all of which are common themes in desert hermitage. This painting not only represents a part of Saint Francis de Sales' personal spiritual journey, but also reflects the broader spiritual conventions of Franceschini's contemporaries in Bologna and the Roman Catholic Church at the time.

"St. Francis de Sales 1567-1622 in the Desert" exhibits the stylistic conventions of the Baroque period, featuring dramatic lighting, rich colour, and emotive expression, which are consistent with Franceschini's other works. His attention to minute detail, coupled with his ability to use colour to create a mood, lends a unique aesthetic to this painting.

As with much of Franceschini's work, "St. Francis de Sales 1567-1622 in the Desert" serves as an example of the religious and artistic conventions of its era, providing both historical and artistic insights. Though the physical location of the painting is currently unknown, it continues to hold an important place in art history texts for its role in shedding light on the artistic conventions and religious thought of the Baroque period in Italy.
