17th century school, "Saint Francis in Ecstasy after Receivi - Lot 172
17th century school, "Saint Francis in Ecstasy after Receiving the Stigmata" oil on canvas originally curved and enlarged to rectangular format. Dim. 73x61 cm and dim. with frame 88x76 cm. Apocryphal inscription on the stretcher rail "B-E Murillo 1618 - 1682". The initial format and facture of this 17th-century painting have long led to it being attributed to several Spanish masters. The typology of the face and the very subtle rendering of the textile of the gown argue in favor of the Flemish school of Antwerp circa 1625. In the absence of further study, this magnificent painting, which expresses Francis of Assisi's amazement at receiving the stigmata, remains to be returned to a painter whose corpus it will enrich with a work of great quality.
