EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the profound moment when Saint Francis receives the Stigmata, beautifully captured by the talented artist José de Ribera in the first third of the 17th century. The painting, housed in the Musei di Strada Nuova in Genoa, Italy, is a testament to Ribera's mastery of Baroque art. In this scene, we witness Saint Francis of Assisi, a revered figure in Christianity and patron saint of animals and ecology, experiencing a mystical encounter with divine grace. As an ascetic monk and founder of the Franciscan Order, Saint Francis dedicated his life to imitating Christ's humility and compassion. The image portrays Saint Francis bearing visible wounds on his hands and feet known as stigmata - symbolic marks resembling those inflicted upon Jesus during his crucifixion. This extraordinary phenomenon signifies Saint Francis' deep spiritual connection with Christ and serves as a powerful symbol of devotion. Ribera skillfully employs oil on canvas to bring this sacred moment to life. The rich colors and intricate details capture both the physical pain endured by Saint Francis and his serene acceptance of suffering for his faith. This remarkable artwork not only honors one of Christianity's most beloved saints but also invites contemplation on themes such as sacrifice, faith, mysticism, and devotion. It stands as a timeless reminder that true spirituality often requires great personal sacrifice while inspiring viewers to reflect upon their own beliefs and values.
