EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stigmatisation of Saint Francis, painted by Giotto di Bondone between 1295 and 1300, is a masterpiece of the Florentine School and a significant work of Gothic art. Housed in the Basilica San Francesco in Assisi, Italy, this fresco depicts the pivotal moment in the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, the founder of the Franciscan Order. Saint Francis, dressed in the simple brown robes of a friar minor, is shown in a state of profound contemplation, his eyes closed and his hands raised in prayer. Surrounding him are the symbols of the Passion of Christ, including the Crucifix, the Crown of Thorns, and the Five Wounds. The banishment of the devils is depicted in the lower register, with demons recoiling in terror as they are driven away by the power of Saint Francis' faith. This painting is a testament to the deep spiritual connection that Saint Francis felt with Christ, and the moment of his stigmatisation is considered a turning point in his life. The legend of Saint Francis' stigmatisation holds that he received the wounds of the crucifixion, both physical and spiritual, as a sign of his devotion and closeness to God. Giotto's masterful use of perspective and detail in this fresco is a testament to his skill as a painter and his ability to capture the essence of the Franciscan mystic. The Stigmatisation of Saint Francis remains an enduring symbol of the Franciscan Order and the spiritual ideals that Saint Francis embodied, inspiring generations of artists and believers alike.
