{"product_id":"saint-francis-receiving-the-stigmata-titian","title":"Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata - Titian","description":"\u003cp\u003eA detailed woodcut depicting Saint Francis of Assisi in a forest setting, receiving the stigmata from a divine light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis woodcut depicts the moment of the stigmata, a central event in the hagiography of Saint Francis of Assisi. The composition shows the saint kneeling in a rugged, wooded environment, his arms outstretched towards a celestial light emanating from the upper right. A companion figure, Brother Leo, is positioned in the lower right, shielding his eyes from the divine radiance. The artist employs a dense network of lines to define the textures of the gnarled tree trunks, the folds of the monastic habits, and the rocky terrain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe print reflects the Venetian approach to form and light, even within the constraints of the woodcut medium. The trees frame the scene, creating a sense of enclosure that directs the viewer towards the interaction between the saint and the divine source. The background reveals a distant, simplified architectural structure, providing a sense of scale and spatial depth. The treatment of the foliage and the dramatic, diagonal rays of light demonstrate a focus on atmospheric effects, a hallmark of the Venetian school during the sixteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile Titian is primarily known for his oil paintings, his involvement with printmaking was significant for the dissemination of his compositions. This work captures the emotional intensity of the religious narrative through the physical posture of the figures and the dynamic interplay of light and shadow. The lines are precise, allowing for a clear articulation of the forms despite the complexity of the forest setting. This print offers a view into the graphic production of the period, where the translation of painterly concepts into black and white media required a sophisticated understanding of tonal variation and mark-making.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/memory-of-a-voyage-rene-magritte\" 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;\"\u003eMemory of a Voyage - René Magritte — René Magritte\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" 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;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Titian","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759062716751,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759068385615,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58759068418383,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":58759068451151,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":58759068483919,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":58759068516687,"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":58759068549455,"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":58759068582223,"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":58759068614991,"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":58759068647759,"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":58759068680527,"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":58759068713295,"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_1789229945983.jpg?v=1789230478","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/saint-francis-receiving-the-stigmata-titian","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
