Stigmatisatie van heilige Franciscus 1634 - 1693

Jonas Umbach's etching "Stigmatisatie van heilige Franciscus" depicts Saint Francis of Assisi kneeling in prayer, his eyes raised to the heavens. A ray of light from the sky descends upon him, symbolizing the stigmata he received. The scene is set amidst a landscape of trees and clouds, which are rendered with detailed hatching, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. This small-scale print, created between 1634 and 1693, is a fine example of Baroque-era engraving, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing both the physical and spiritual aspects of Saint Francis's experience.
