Assisi Christ Francis Gustav Hand Coloured Kneeling Receiving Rendering Stigmata 1925
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite hand-coloured rendering, created in 1925, depicts a pivotal moment in the life of St. Francis of Assisi. The image captures the profound devotion and deep connection between St. Francis and Christ as the saint receives the stigmata - the visible signs of the wounds of Christ's crucifixion. St. Francis, dressed in the simple brown robes of his order, is depicted kneeling before a crucified Christ. His hands are raised in prayer, his eyes filled with awe and reverence. The wounds of Christ's hands, feet, and side are clearly visible, and the red stigmata marks appear on St. Francis' hands and side, symbolizing his spiritual union with Christ's suffering. The artist of this beautiful work is Gustav Vegh, whose mastery of color and detail is evident in every brushstroke. Vegh's use of rich, vibrant hues adds depth and emotion to the scene, making it a truly captivating and moving representation of this sacred moment. The image is a testament to the deep spiritual bond between St. Francis and Christ, and serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of faith, devotion, and self-sacrifice. This stunning work of art, created over 90 years ago, continues to inspire and move viewers today, making it a cherished addition to any collection of religious art.
