The Stigmatization of St Francis

1600-05
Oil on canvas, 93 x 48 cm
Cerralbo Collection, Madrid

Several versions have been preserved of this representation of St Francis with Brother Rufus. There is an early version in Bergamo, derived from a composition by Titian existing only in woodcut. Another version, likewise early, in the Zuloaga Museum at Zumaya, already shows wide divergences from Titian's composition.
