"St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata" is a significant fresco by the Italian painter Taddeo Gaddi, a prominent artist of the early Renaissance period and a notable pupil of Giotto. This artwork, dating from the mid-14th century, is a visual representation of a miraculous event in the life of St. Francis of Assisi, where he is said to have received the wounds of Christ, known as the stigmata, during a religious ecstasy. The fresco is located in the Baroncelli Chapel of the Church of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy, which houses a series of frescoes by Gaddi that narrate the life of St. Francis.

Gaddi's depiction of this mystical event is imbued with emotional depth and a keen attention to detail, characteristic of the artistic innovations of the time that sought to convey greater realism and humanism. The fresco captures the moment of divine intervention with a dramatic intensity, as St. Francis kneels in prayer before a seraphic figure, with rays emanating from the apparition to the saint's hands, feet, and side. The composition, use of color, and the portrayal of the landscape reflect Gaddi's mastery of the lessons of his teacher, Giotto, and his own contributions to the development of Italian fresco painting.

The "St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata" fresco is an important work for its artistic merit and its role in the visual culture of Franciscan spirituality. It has been the subject of art historical analysis and is considered a valuable example of the narrative storytelling and devotional imagery that characterized the religious art of the period. The fresco remains an object of veneration and a testament to the enduring legacy of St. Francis, as well as a key piece in understanding the progression of early Renaissance art in Italy.
