Saint Francis in Ecstasy by Van Dyck 1632
Saint Francis leans on a rock is in ecstasy after he meditated on her sister death. That meditation is symbolized by the skull, while his faith in Jesus Christ is represented on while he embraces the Cross. He is comforted by a musician angel, as is told in the book The Little Flowers of Saint Francis (Part II, second consideration). This beautiful was painted by Van Dyck, in England showing a detailed technique on the expression of Francis, and his hands. (Oil on canvas 1632).
