St Francis by Federico Barocci 1604
This beautifully detailed canvas represents the Saint of Assisi in a state of deep meditation. St. Francis is shown inside a grotto on Mount La Verna, where he received the stigmata (marks of the nails, suffered by Christ and then impressed on the Saint, according to early Franciscan sources). Barocci was close to the Capuchin order, and this particular artwork is supposed to have been made for one of their friars. (Oil on canvas, 1604. Baroque art)
