Saint Francis Receives the Order from the Crucifix at Saint Damian to Repair the House of God is a 1750 oil by Antoni Viladomat i Manalt, a Rococo painting work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a scene of Saint Francis kneeling in prayer, with his hands clasped together in front of him. He is dressed in a simple red robe and has a halo above his head. In the background, there is a crucifix on the wall, and a group of people are standing in the doorway, looking on. The atmosphere is one of reverence and devotion. The painting is rendered in warm, earthy tones, with a focus on the play of light and shadow. The use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye into the scene.
