"Saint Francis of Assisi" is a painting often attributed to Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, a prominent Italian Baroque master known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic depiction of human figures. The artwork is believed to depict Saint Francis of Assisi, a medieval Italian friar and preacher who founded the Franciscan Order and is one of the most venerated religious figures in Christianity.

The painting portrays Saint Francis in a moment of divine ecstasy or contemplation, a common theme in Caravaggio's religious works. The saint is typically shown with the stigmata, wounds on his hands, feet, or side that mirror those of Christ's crucifixion, which according to Catholic tradition were miraculously bestowed upon Francis. In Caravaggio's interpretation, Saint Francis is often depicted with a dark, tenebrous background, with a strong light source illuminating the figure, highlighting the intensity of his spiritual experience.

While the exact date of the painting is uncertain, it is generally placed in the early 17th century, during Caravaggio's mature period when he created some of his most celebrated works. The painting's provenance and authenticity have been subjects of debate among art historians, with some attributing it directly to Caravaggio and others suggesting it may be the work of a follower or from his workshop.

"Saint Francis of Assisi" by Caravaggio is not only a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human condition and religious fervor but also reflects the broader cultural and spiritual milieu of the Counter-Reformation, during which the Catholic Church sought to reaffirm its doctrines and inspire the faithful through the arts.

As with many of Caravaggio's works, the painting's whereabouts have sometimes been unclear, and its history includes periods where it was considered lost or misattributed. Today, if the painting is indeed extant and attributed correctly, it would be housed in a major museum or private collection, contributing to the ongoing discourse on Caravaggio's profound impact on Western art.
