"St. Francis Beneath a Tree, Praying" is an etching by the Dutch master Rembrandt van Rijn, created in approximately 1650. This work of art depicts St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Catholic saint known for his deep spirituality and connection with nature, in a moment of profound contemplation and prayer. The etching is catalogued as Bartsch number 107, Hind number 292, and Biörklund and Barnard number 57-a, indicating its position within the artist's oeuvre and its recognition in various authoritative catalogues of Rembrandt's prints.

The etching presents St. Francis in a secluded, wooded setting, a common motif that reflects the saint's withdrawal from the world to seek spiritual communion with God. Rembrandt's mastery of light and shadow is evident in this work, as he uses these elements to create a sense of depth and to highlight the emotional intensity of St. Francis's prayerful state. The saint is typically shown with his hands clasped and his eyes raised towards the heavens, often accompanied by a skull and a crucifix, symbolizing his contemplation of death and eternal life.

Rembrandt's portrayal of St. Francis is notable for its humanistic approach, capturing the saint's humility and piety without the grandeur often associated with religious figures in art. The etching is part of a larger body of work by Rembrandt that explores biblical and religious themes, demonstrating the artist's interest in conveying the inner life and spirituality of his subjects.

"St. Francis Beneath a Tree, Praying" is considered an important example of Rembrandt's skill as an etcher, showcasing his ability to manipulate the etching needle with the same dexterity as a paintbrush. The work is held in high esteem by art historians and collectors alike and is featured in various museum collections and exhibitions around the world. Its enduring appeal lies in its capacity to evoke the spiritual fervor of St. Francis and the artistic genius of Rembrandt van Rijn.
