EDITORS COMMENTS
**Saint Francis with the Stigmata: A Testament to Devotion**
In this exquisite oil on canvas print from 1610, Italian artist Ferrau Fenzoni captures a poignant moment in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. The revered patron saint is depicted holding up his hands and feet, bearing the stigmata - wounds identical to those suffered by Christ during his crucifixion. This powerful symbol of devotion and martyrdom is illuminated by an angelic presence, who gently supports St. Francis's exhausted form.
The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic contrast between light and darkness, emphasizing the saint's spiritual exhaustion after receiving the stigmata. The subtle color palette adds to the sense of reverence and contemplation, drawing the viewer into this intimate moment of prayerful suffering.
Ferrau Fenzoni was a prominent Mannerist painter active in 17th-century Italy, known for his emotive and expressive depictions of religious subjects. This masterpiece is now part of the esteemed Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza collection in Madrid, Spain. As we gaze upon St. Francis's serene countenance, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and sacrifice that has inspired countless generations to follow his path.
