Saint Francis in Ecstasy

Original Dimensions: 77" x 53 1/4"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (ca. 1650) "Castiglione voraciously absorbed a range of precedents—Van Dyck, Rubens, and Rembrandt, among others—to establish unique, radical techniques of both drawing and painting. Short repeated diagonal brushstrokes build up the clothing, and rich impasto gives a tactile physicality to the still life of skull and open book. Saint Francis (1181/82–1226) is depicted on a rocky precipice, silhouetted against the evening sky at a dramatic moment of devotion to a sculpture depicting Christ’s crucifixion. By contrast, the skull and book symbolize mortality and vanities of the world." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
