"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, believed to have been created circa 1595. The artwork depicts St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Catholic saint known for his deep devotion to God and nature, at a moment of mystical ecstasy. Caravaggio's representation of St. Francis is characterized by a dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and shadow to achieve a sense of volume and to convey the spiritual intensity of the scene.

The painting portrays St. Francis in a moment of divine rapture as he receives the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, which according to Christian tradition miraculously appeared on his body. St. Francis is shown in a remote, rocky landscape, which reflects his life of asceticism and his retreat from worldly concerns. His eyes are closed, his face is lifted heavenward, and his hands are open in a gesture of acceptance, emphasizing his spiritual union with God. An angel, often interpreted as a symbol of divine presence, is seen in the act of bestowing the stigmata upon the saint.

"St. Francis in Ecstasy" is notable for its emotional intensity and its innovative approach to religious subject matter. Caravaggio's use of naturalism, where the saint is depicted with realistic features and emotions, marked a departure from the idealized figures common in the art of the Renaissance. This naturalistic approach would come to influence the development of Baroque art and establish Caravaggio as a pivotal figure in the history of Western painting.

The painting is part of a series of works by Caravaggio that explore themes of religious experience and conversion, and it exemplifies the artist's ability to convey complex spiritual narratives through powerful visual imagery. "St. Francis in Ecstasy" is held in high esteem by art historians and is considered one of Caravaggio's significant contributions to the genre of religious painting. The artwork is housed in the Wadsworth Atheneum in Hartford, Connecticut, where it continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its artistic and spiritual significance.
