EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning oil on canvas painting, titled "Stigmatization of St. Francis" by the renowned Spanish Baroque artist Alonso Cano (1601-1667), depicts a pivotal moment in the life of St. Francis of Assisi (1182-1226). The scene, set against a nighttime backdrop, unfolds in the Church of San Francisco el Grande in Madrid, Spain, an autonomous community in the heart of the country. St. Francis, shown as a humble and pious man, is depicted in the midst of his stigmatization, an extraordinary religious experience in which he received the visible wounds of the crucified Christ. The stigmata, represented by the five wounds on his hands, feet, and side, are depicted in vivid color, adding to the intensity and realism of the painting. The Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and color, is evident in the painting's vertical composition, which draws the viewer's eye upwards towards the celestial realm. The use of chiaroscuro, or the contrast between light and dark, adds depth and texture to the painting, creating a sense of depth and three-dimensionality. The painting captures the belief and devotion of the early modern era towards St. Francis, who is considered the patron saint of animals and the environment. The ritualistic nature of the scene, with the presence of other figures in the painting, underscores the communal and collective aspect of religious practice during this time. Overall, this masterpiece by Alonso Cano is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture and convey the profound spiritual experiences of the human condition.
