Camille Auguste Gastine (1819-1867) Saint Francis Of Assisi In Ecstasy, Gouache
A beautiful work on paper by Claude Auguste Gastine, a 19th-century French draftsman and engraver, depicting Saint Francis of Assisi in ecstasy, his arms raised to heaven in a gesture of mystical surrender.
The scene takes place in a vaulted grotto, with a landscape of blue hills visible in the background to the right, in the tradition of eremitic scenes. The saint is kneeling, dressed in his brown Franciscan habit, before a large open book (the Gospels) and a cross. The composition combines contemplation and mystical fervor with a beautiful spiritual intensity.
