A moving Baroque painting by Jusepe de Ribera depicts St. Francis of Assisi in contemplation, holding a skull. The work is characterised by tenebrism and naturalism, reflecting Ribera's interest in capturing intense emotion and spiritual experience.
Jusepe de Ribera, a leading painter of the Spanish Baroque period, created this moving depiction of St. Francis of Assisi. Ribera, also known as José de Ribera and as Jusepe Ribera in Spanish, spent most of his career in Naples, then part of the Spanish Empire. His work is characterised by its tenebrism and naturalism, influenced by Caravaggio. Ribera's paintings often explore themes of martyrdom, religious ecstasy, and the human condition. In this painting, St. Francis is shown in a moment of contemplation, gazing upwards with a serene expression. He is dressed in a simple brown habit, holding a skull, a traditional symbol of mortality and penance. The dark background contrasts with the light falling on the saint's face and hands, creating a dramatic effect. Ribera's attention to detail is evident in the wrinkles of St. Francis's face and the texture of his coarse garments. The painting reflects the Baroque interest in capturing intense emotion and spiritual experience.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
Jusepe de Ribera
painting Naples's street people as saints and philosophers with a naturalism more visceral than Caravaggio's
