"The Stigmatization of St. Francis" by Vincente Carducho
NYTimes:
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston
"Among the show's most floridly imaginative works are paintings showing Saint Francis of Assisi having visions. In one by Vicente Carducho, the saint levitates over a rural landscape and receives stigmata from Jesus who hovers before him, crucified on a cross of pink, angelic wings. The ecstasy seems as much erotic as religious."
