EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Levitation of St. Francis" transports us to a world where spirituality and artistry intertwine seamlessly. Painted by Francisco de Zurbaran, or possibly one of his followers, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 100x81.6 cm and is housed in The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK. In this baroque depiction, St. Francis is shown suspended above the ground, defying gravity with an ethereal grace. Clad in his signature brown habit adorned with a patch, he exudes an aura of serenity and devotion that captivates the viewer's gaze. The painting beautifully captures the concept of levitation as both a physical and spiritual phenomenon. Stigmata marks are visible on his hands and feet - symbolic reminders of Christ's crucifixion that St. Francis bore throughout his life. Zurbaran's mastery shines through in this tenebrist composition; chiaroscuro techniques create dramatic contrasts between light and shadow, emphasizing the saint's elevated state while adding depth to the overall scene. This print invites us to contemplate not only the artistic brilliance behind it but also the profound faith that inspired its creation. It serves as a testament to St. Francis' unwavering dedication to God and reminds us of our own capacity for transcendence amidst life's challenges. As we admire this extraordinary piece from Bridgeman Images' collection on Fine Art Finder, let us be transported into a realm where
