Saint Francis
Artist: Federico Barocci (Italian, 1535–1612)
Original Dimensions: 35 3/8" x 30 7/8"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1600–1604) "Barocci’s naturalism, heightened emotion, and coloristic brilliance helped set the stage for what became known as Baroque art. His subtle, soft surface textures were inspired in part by the Italian Mannerist painter Correggio. This canvas is conceived as a meditation on Saint Francis of Assisi (1181/82–1226), who is shown in a grotto on Mount La Verna, where he received the stigmata, depicted here as protruding nails, in conformity with early Franciscan written sources." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
