EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of St Francis in Ecstasy, painted by Bernardo Strozzi between 1615 and 1618. The oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 118.1x90.2 cm and is housed at The Dayton Art Institute in Dayton, Ohio, USA. In this painting, we witness the profound spiritual experience of St Francis as he enters a state of ecstasy. His bearded face radiates enlightenment and beatitude, capturing the essence of his Franciscan devotion. Clad in a simple robe and seated with utmost serenity, he appears completely absorbed in divine contemplation. A striking detail within the composition is the presence of a skull at St Francis' side, symbolizing mortality and reminding viewers of life's transience amidst spiritual transcendence. This juxtaposition adds depth to the scene while emphasizing St Francis' detachment from worldly desires. The artist skillfully captures this momentous occasion through delicate brushstrokes that bring forth a sense of ethereal beauty. A halo surrounds St Francis' head, signifying his sanctity and connection to higher realms. As we gaze upon this remarkable painting captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are transported into a realm where spirituality intertwines with artistry. It serves as a timeless reminder that true enlightenment can be found through inner reflection and devotion to something greater than ourselves.
