Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating engraving by Lucas Vorsteman from the 17th century, portrays a pivotal moment in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi. The image, dated 1620, depicts the founder of the Franciscan Order in deep contemplation as he receives the stigmata – the visible wounds corresponding to those of Christ's crucifixion – on Mount La Verna. Lucas Vorsterman, a renowned Flemish engraver, masterfully captures the essence of this spiritual event with intricate detail and subtlety. The composition is both dynamic and introspective, with Saint Francis depicted in the center, surrounded by angels and the crucified Christ, who appears in a vision. The use of chiaroscuro and contrasting shades of grey create a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer into the scene. This engraving, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of Christianity, is a testament to the enduring influence of Saint Francis of Assisi and the profound impact of his devotion to Christ. The image has been preserved and exhibited in various art galleries and centers, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. Lucas Vorsterman's masterful depiction of "Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata" is a powerful reminder of the deep connection between the human experience and the divine. The figure of Saint Francis, with his humility and devotion, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, making this engraving a cherished piece of art and cultural history.
