Stigmatization of Saint Francis, print, Saint Francis kneeling by a tree, arms outstretched, his gaze fixed on a crucifix above him in the sky. In the background a brother seen from behind, reading while walking towards a church., printmaker: Federico Barocci, Urbino, 1581 - 1585, Marche, paper, etching, engraving, stipple work, drypoint, height 231 mm x width 147 mm, stigmatization of St. Francis of Assisi: in retreat on Mount Alverna, he holds a vision of Christ on the cross enveloped by wings (like a seraph with six wings), rays passing down to the body of the kneeling saint form the marks of the five wounds of Christ, A monochrome ink drawing shows a robed figure kneeling on a rocky slope with arms outstretched and head tilted upward, the robe rendered with dense crosshatching and folds. In the background a second robed figure stands among trees or bushes, holding something close to their face. A large gnarled tree with exposed branches fills the upper center, its trunk and roots indicated by flowing lines and textured shading. To the right a distant village silhouette with a tall steeple rises above low buildings and rolling hills. The sky is sketched with radiating lines around a small bird or dove near the top, and the ground is detailed with hatching suggesting rocks, grass, and contours across the composition.
