17th Century Oil on Copper – Saint Francis of Assisi

About the Item

An exceptional and intimate 17th-century oil on copper painting portraying Saint Francis of Assisi in a profound moment of spiritual contemplation. Rendered with masterful technique, this devotional work captures the saint kneeling in prayer, enveloped in a divine light that illuminates his serene expression and ascetic presence. The artist's refined treatment of light, shadow, and naturalistic detail suggests an accomplished hand, possibly linked to a prominent European workshop of the Baroque period. Saint Francis, clad in his traditional brown habit, is depicted amidst a rocky grotto landscape, with flowing water and a distant chapel adding depth and symbolism to the composition. The copper substrate enhances the vibrancy and longevity of the pigments, contributing to the painting's remarkable preservation.
