Giotto di Bondone depicted Saint Francis in a moment of divine rapture in this fresco. The saint's upward gaze and open arms express spiritual transport. Giotto's naturalistic approach made saints seem human and relatable.
This scene belongs to the famous Francis cycle at Assisi. The emotional intensity influenced religious art for centuries. It remains at the Basilica of Saint Francis.
