Cort, a Dutch master who spent his later years in Italy, was known for his technical precision in copperplate engraving. This work demonstrates his ability to translate complex tonal values into linear patterns. The composition features the saint kneeling in a rocky, uneven terrain, his gaze directed upward toward a celestial vision. A large, gnarled tree dominates the right side of the frame, acting as a vertical anchor for the scene. Above, a burst of light emanates from a seraphic figure, casting rays that illuminate the foliage and the surrounding landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCort employs a variety of hatching techniques to define the textures of the stone, the rough bark of the tree, and the folds of the saint's habit. The background reveals a distant, quiet vista, providing a sense of scale and isolation appropriate for the meditative nature of the subject. The print reflects the influence of Italian Mannerism, particularly in the elongated forms and the dramatic use of light. Cort's work was highly regarded during his lifetime for its clarity and its capacity to reproduce the painterly qualities of the original compositions he translated into print. This piece remains a fine example of sixteenth-century printmaking, where the engraver's skill is used to convey both spiritual intensity and naturalistic detail. The balance between the foreground figures and the atmospheric background creates a sense of depth, drawing the viewer into the quiet, holy encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/study-sheet-with-five-figures-the-desperate-man-albrecht-durer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eStudy Sheet with Five Figures ('The Desperate Man') - Albrecht Dürer — Albrecht Dürer\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/title-page-for-a-series-of-water-nymphs-philips-galle\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eTitle Page for a Series of Water Nymphs - Philips Galle — Philip Galle\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cornelis Cort","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428891300175,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428899000655,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58428899033423,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428899066191,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428899098959,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428899131727,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428899164495,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428899197263,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428899230031,"sku":null,"price":60.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58428899262799,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58428899295567,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58428899328335,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Saint-Francis-Receiving-the-Stigmata_Poster_CompositorV1_1786172473425.jpg?v=1786229081","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/saint-francis-receiving-the-stigmata-cornelis-cort","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
