"The Ecstasy of St. Francis" is a renowned tempera on panel painting by the Italian artist Stefano di Giovanni, commonly known as Sassetta, created between 1437 and 1444. This work is part of a larger altarpiece, the Sansepolcro Altarpiece, which was originally commissioned for the Church of San Francesco in Sansepolcro, Tuscany. Sassetta, a leading painter of the Sienese school, is celebrated for his innovative use of color and incorporation of elegant Gothic and early Renaissance styles.

The painting depicts a seminal moment in the life of St. Francis of Assisi, the revered Italian Catholic friar and preacher known for his profound religious experiences and stigmata. In "The Ecstasy of St. Francis," Sassetta captures the saint in a moment of divine rapture, possibly reflecting his reception of the stigmata or a mystical vision. The work is characterized by its rich, vibrant colors and the delicate, ethereal quality of the figures, which are hallmarks of Sassetta's style.

Measuring 36 x 30 cm, the panel is a significant example of early Renaissance devotional imagery, illustrating the increasing interest in personal piety and the emotional experiences of saints. The painting's composition, with St. Francis set against a rocky landscape and a clear sky, reflects a transition from the gold backgrounds typical of medieval art to more naturalistic settings.

"The Ecstasy of St. Francis" is admired for its spiritual intensity and artistic beauty, representing a fusion of the mystical and the natural world. The painting is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for both its historical significance and its aesthetic achievements.
