EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Saint Francis, a revered figure in Christianity. Painted by Felice Brusasorci in 1599, it showcases Saint Francis kneeling with his arms outstretched, gazing towards a cherub positioned at the upper left corner. The image is an engraving created by Raphael Sadeler I, adding depth and detail to the scene. Saint Francis, known for his deep devotion and connection to God, is depicted here as a stigmatist - someone who bears the wounds of Christ's crucifixion on their body. This portrayal highlights his spiritual journey and unwavering faith. The composition exudes divine inspiration as rays of light illuminate Saint Francis' figure from above. His expression reflects both reverence and awe towards the cherubim hovering nearby. The presence of amorini or putti adds an angelic touch to this sacred moment. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this 16th-century masterpiece showcases Brusasorci's skillful brushwork and attention to religious symbolism. It serves as a reminder of Saint Francis' profound impact on Christianity and his embodiment of selflessness and compassion. Raphael Sadeler's engraving beautifully translates Brusasorci's original painting into a striking black-and-white medium that emphasizes contrasts between light and shadow. This timeless artwork continues to inspire viewers today with its depiction of spirituality transcending time and space
