"Saint Francis Receiving The Stigmata" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Pier Francesco Mola, who was active during the 17th century. Mola, born in 1612 in Coldrerio, Switzerland, and later based in Rome, is recognized for his contributions to the Baroque movement, characterized by dramatic use of light and shadow, emotional intensity, and dynamic compositions. This particular work exemplifies Mola's mastery in capturing religious fervor and mystical experiences, themes prevalent in Baroque art.

The painting depicts the moment when Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order, receives the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, during a vision. According to tradition, this miraculous event occurred in 1224 while Saint Francis was praying on Mount La Verna. In Mola's interpretation, the scene is imbued with a sense of divine intervention and spiritual ecstasy. Saint Francis is portrayed in a moment of rapture, his gaze directed upwards towards the heavens, where an angelic figure or a vision of Christ may be implied, though not explicitly shown in some versions of the composition.

Mola's use of chiaroscuro, the contrast between light and dark, enhances the dramatic effect, drawing the viewer's attention to the saint's expressive face and the wounds on his hands and feet. The background is typically rendered in subdued tones, allowing the figure of Saint Francis to stand out prominently. This technique not only highlights the central figure but also creates a sense of depth and three-dimensionality.

"Saint Francis Receiving The Stigmata" reflects Mola's ability to convey intense spiritual experiences through his art. His work is characterized by a delicate balance between realism and idealism, capturing both the physical and metaphysical aspects of the subject. This painting remains an important example of Baroque religious art, illustrating the period's fascination with mysticism, divine encounters, and the human experience of the sacred.
