"St. Francis" by Gentile da Fabriano, an Italian painter active in the early 1400s, depicts the saint kneeling in prayer while a seraph with six wings descends from heaven, radiating golden light. The seraph appears to be radiating a bright red color while the saint appears to be in a more solemn, yet calm, state of prayer. St. Francis was known for his love of nature and his mystical experiences. The painting's composition and rich color palette are characteristic of the International Gothic style, which flourished in Italy during the late 14th and early 15th centuries. The work showcases the artist's ability to blend realistic detail with spiritual imagery, reflecting the deep religious devotion of the time.
