Often considered the greatest Roman painter of his generation, Francesco Trevisani’s style varies between classicism and the softer, more sentimental Italian Baroque. The strong diagonals, dramatic lighting and emotional content of this painting recall the Baroque style. A tearful Francis is shown near the cave where he and three companions began a forty-day fast in preparation for Michaelmas, the traditional Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. The light from behind the saint dramatically illuminates the crucifix he contemplates, while a simple stone altar holds a large Gospel supported by a skull. The skull serves as a memento mori, a reminder of death, while the meager vegetables symbolize Francis’ humble life. Known for his charity, Francis adopted a life of poverty while preaching repentance. In 1224, around the time of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross and during the above-mentioned fast, the saint had a vision and, as a result, received the stigmata, which is clearly visible in this painting.
