St. Francis of Assisi

Bernardo Strozzi's St. Francis of Assisi is a compelling example of Religious painting within the Baroque style. Created on canvas, the work showcases Strozzi's characteristic rich, glowing colours and energetic brushstrokes. The painting captures St. Francis with reverence, emphasizing his spiritual devotion and humility, hallmarks of Baroque religious art. As a pioneer of Baroque techniques, Strozzi’s mastery of Oil paint lends depth and luminosity to the scene, reflecting his profound influence on Venetian and Genoese painting traditions.
