Saint Francis of Assisi is a 1650 oil by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, depicting Francis of Assisi, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a man in a brown robe, holding a cross in his right hand and a rope in his left. He has a beard and is looking upwards. The background is dark, with a faint light source coming from the top-left corner. The man's facial expression is one of deep contemplation, and his eyes seem to be gazing into the distance. The rope in his hand appears to be a symbol of his devotion to his faith.
