St. Francis of Assisi Receiving the Stigmata is a 1650 by Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi, a Baroque work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows St. Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata. He's kneeling, looking up at a vision. The details in this work are interesting because of the way the artist used light and dark to create a sense of depth. The artist's use of shadows adds a lot to the mood of the scene. You can learn more about this style by looking into the technique of chiaroscuro.
Giovanni Francesco Grimaldi (1606 – 28 November 1680) was an Italian painter, draughtsman, printmaker and architect. He was an accomplished fresco painter of classical landscapes which were popular with leading Roman families.
