He created 130 paintings because of his interests of Saint Francis. The painting The ecstasy of St. Francis of Assisi presents him at a moment of spiritual admiration. It is an expression of astonishment and love for God who gives him stigmata. The wounds left in Christ’s body by the Crucifixion have evangelical dimension.
