Saint Francis by Orazio Gentileschi
Born in Pisa, and being the son of artisans, Gentileschi lived in Rome, at a time when Vatican ornaments were developed. Caravaggio had a great influence on his style, in this work, in the early 1600s, Saint Francis appears to be fainting, being supported by an angel. Other recognized works were the design of the mosaics in the vault of St. Petter.
