 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.
