Description from the seller
Saint Francis in ecstasy – Oil on copper – 17th century – Attributed to the Madrid School – Dutch-style frame
Magnificent oil painting on copper from the 17th century, depicting Saint Francis in ecstasy, one of the most emblematic iconographies of the Baroque.
Work attributed to the Madrid School, executed on copper plate, a support highly valued by collectors for its extraordinary luminosity, the fineness of the details and its excellent preservation over the centuries.
The composition shows Saint Francis in a deep moment of mystical contemplation, with the stigmata visible in the hands and the skull as a symbol of meditation on the transience of life, all wrapped in a delicate landscape of great spiritual strength.
The work is presented in an elegant Dutch-style frame, which enhances its beauty and historical character.
