The stigmatisation of St Francis 16th century

"The Stigmatisation of St Francis" is an anonymous 16th-century engraving housed at the Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark. The artwork depicts Saint Francis kneeling in prayer in a wooded setting, with a distant view of a town. The detailed depiction of the natural world, including the textured foliage and the gnarled branches of the trees, suggests an influence of Northern Renaissance art. The dramatic light and the use of chiaroscuro contribute to the emotional impact of the scene, highlighting the saint's devotion and the divine nature of the event.
