"The Stigmatisation of St Francis" is a notable fresco by the Italian painter Taddeo Gaddi, a prominent artist of the early Renaissance period and a pupil of Giotto. Created in the 14th century, this artwork is a significant representation of the life of St. Francis of Assisi, particularly the miraculous event when he received the stigmata—the wounds of Christ—during a religious ecstasy. The fresco is located in the Baroncelli Chapel of the Church of Santa Croce in Florence, Italy, which houses a cycle of frescoes by Gaddi that narrates the life and miracles of St. Francis.

The composition of "The Stigmatisation of St Francis" is marked by a dramatic intensity and a delicate use of color, which are characteristic of Gaddi's style. The fresco depicts St. Francis kneeling in prayer on Mount La Verna, an important site for Franciscan heritage, as he is imbued with the stigmata by a seraphic figure. The emotional depth conveyed through the expressions and gestures of St. Francis and the attending angels reflects the influence of Gaddi's mentor, Giotto, and illustrates the transition from the Byzantine style to a more naturalistic approach in art.

As an early Renaissance work, the fresco is significant for its contribution to the development of Italian painting, particularly in the context of religious and devotional art. Taddeo Gaddi's portrayal of this mystical event not only serves as a devotional image for the faithful but also as an artistic benchmark that highlights the evolving narrative and stylistic techniques of the period. The fresco remains an important piece for the study of art history and the veneration of St. Francis, attracting scholars and visitors alike to the Church of Santa Croce, a key monument of Florentine art and architecture.
