Saint Francis In Ecstasy (Reni)
''St. Francis in Ecstasy'' is a 1622 oil on canvas painting by Guido Reni, now in the Coppola Chapel (dedicated to the saint depicted) in Girolamini church in Naples, Italy. History Its style is reminiscent of the same artist's ''The Mother'' in the Pinacoteca Nazionale di Bologna, thought to have been painted between 1615 and 1630. Reni's links to the Coppola family (if any) remain unknown. He was in Naples for ten years starting in 1612 to take part in painting the chapel of the treasure of Saint Januarius, but a 1626 inventory states that the painting was not yet in the Girolamini, although Carlo Celano mentioned viewing it in the chapel in 1692. The art gallery of the Oratorians of Saint Philip Neri, known as the , houses Reni's '' The Flight into Egypt'' and '' Jesus Meets John the Baptist''. The famous clothing designer and rich textile merchant Domenico Lercaro left his whole art collection to the Oratorians in Naples (owners of the Girolamini) and a codicil to his will ...

Saint Francis Of Assisi In Ecstasy (Caravaggio)
''Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy'' (or ''The Ecstasy of Saint Francis'') is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It is now in the Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford, Connecticut. The painting was the first of Caravaggio's religious canvasses, and is thought to date from 1595, when he had recently entered the household of Cardinal Francesco Maria Del Monte. It was presumably painted at the behest of Del Monte, and is thought to be one of the first paintings done by the artist as "Del Monte's painter", as he is believed to have described himself over the next few years while living in Palazzo Madama. It shows Saint Francis of Assisi (the Cardinal's name-saint) at the moment of receiving the signs of the Stigmata, the wounds left in Christ's body by the Crucifixion. The story is told by one of Francis' companions, Brother Leo. In 1224 Francis retired to the wilderness with a small number of his followers to contemplate God. On the mountainside ...
