Ecstasy of Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata is a 1600 oil by El Greco, a Mannerism work, depicting Francis of Assisi, held at São Paulo Museum of Art.
This painting shows a man in a hooded robe, with his hands raised in front of him. He appears to be looking upwards, with a serious expression on his face. A skull is visible in the bottom-left corner of the image. The man's robe is a light color, and the background of the painting is dark. The overall mood of the painting seems somber and contemplative. The painting is held at the São Paulo Museum of Art.
Doménikos Theotokópoulos was born in 1541 in Candia (modern Heraklion), the capital of Venetian-ruled Crete, where he was trained in the post-Byzantine tradition of icon painting.
