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.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/647338\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Saint Francis in Ecstasy\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione (Il Grechetto)","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":44302284030065,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (77\" x 53 1\/4\")","offer_id":44302284062833,"sku":null,"price":5945.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (21 1\/2\" x 14 7\/8\")","offer_id":44302284095601,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (26 3\/8\" x 18 1\/4\")","offer_id":44302284128369,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (32 1\/4\" x 22 3\/8\")","offer_id":44302284161137,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (41 5\/8\" x 28 3\/4\")","offer_id":44302284193905,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (50\" x 34 3\/4\")","offer_id":44302284226673,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (58 7\/8\" x 40 5\/8\")","offer_id":44302284259441,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (70 3\/4\" x 49 1\/8\")","offer_id":44302284292209,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0663\/3934\/0401\/files\/SaintFrancisinEcstasy_cecf7371-946f-431a-9e27-a6ee75a8c104.jpg?v=1787547133","url":"https:\/\/mastermuseumreplicas.com\/products\/saint-francis-in-ecstasy","provider":"Master Museum Replicas","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
