Painting Description
"St. Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata, SS. Cosmas and Damian Healing a Sick Man" are notable works attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Francesco Pesellino, also known as Francesco di Stefano. These pieces were originally part of a predella, a platform or step at the base of an altarpiece, designed to complement the larger work "Madonna and Child Enthroned" by Filippo Lippi. Created in the mid-15th century, these panels exemplify the rich narrative detail and devotion characteristic of Renaissance religious art.
The first panel, depicting St. Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata, captures a pivotal moment in Christian mysticism and Franciscan iconography. It portrays the miraculous event where St. Francis, in a moment of ecstatic prayer, receives the wounds of Christ on his own body, symbolizing his deep identification with the suffering of Christ. This subject was a popular theme in Renaissance art, reflecting the growing emphasis on personal piety and the imitation of Christ's life.
The second panel illustrates Saints Cosmas and Damian, twin brothers and early Christian martyrs who were venerated as patron saints of physicians and surgeons. The scene likely depicts the legendary miracle where they graft the leg of a deceased Ethiopian man onto the body of a white man who had prayed to them for help, showcasing their miraculous healing powers. This narrative was particularly resonant in the context of the Renaissance, a period marked by a burgeoning interest in medicine and the human body, as well as the revival of classical learning.
Together, these panels from the predella serve not only as devotional images but also as reflections of the cultural and intellectual currents of the Renaissance. They demonstrate Pesellino's skill in conveying complex theological themes through vivid narrative and meticulous detail, contributing to our understanding of 15th-century religious art and its societal context. While originally part of a larger ensemble, these works have gained individual recognition for their artistic merit and the light they shed on the religious and cultural life of the Renaissance.
