St Francis's vision of the flaming torch

El Greco, a master of Mannerism (late renaissance), created St Francis's vision of the flaming torch around 1605 in Spain. This religious painting exemplifies his distinctive style, characterized by elongated figures, dramatic emotional intensity, and vibrant oil paint techniques. The title suggests a visionary experience involving a flaming torch, aligning with Greco's fascination with spiritual transcendence. Crafted on canvas, the work employs a symbolic and expressive approach that reflects the spiritual fervor and mysticism typical of his religious compositions.
