St.Francis of Assisi Receiving Stigmata
Artist: Giotto
 c. 1300    Painting

 See Details

This work shows Francis having an apparition of an angel with six wings and a crucified figure. After the vision, his hands and feet received the stigmata—the marks of Christ’s crucifixion. In Giotto’s rendition of the scene, rays from the vision fall onto Francis’s hands and feet. The rocky landscape glows with the light of revelation.

This fresco is in  the upper church of St. Francis Basilica, Assisi, Italy.

Stained Glass Window
Artist: Alphonse Mucha
 1931    Stained Glass

 See Details

This stunning stained glass window casts brilliant light into the north nave of St Vitus' Cathedral in Prague. It creates incredible bursting light, color, and activity - with the central flaming gold and red colors fading into the cool blues and greens on the outer scenes. At the center is the boy Saint Wenceslas (the Czech patron saint) with his grandmother, Saint Ludmila. They are in prayer, the red hues around them perhaps foreshadowing the martyrdom to come. 36 episodes from the lives of the ninth Century Saints Cyril and Methodius, famous for baptizing the Slavs into Christianity, surround the central scene.

This stained glass is in St Vitus Church, Prague.
