An engraving by Agostino Carracci depicting Saint Francis of Assisi kneeling in prayer before a crucifix. The work is characterised by fine lines and precise detail.
Agostino Carracci (1557-1602) was an Italian painter, printmaker, and art theorist. Along with his brother Annibale Carracci and cousin Ludovico Carracci, he was instrumental in founding the Bolognese School of painting, which sought to revive classical ideals in art. Carracci's work is characterised by its emphasis on draftsmanship, anatomical accuracy, and emotional expression. He produced a substantial body of prints, often reproducing his own paintings and those of other artists. His prints were widely circulated and helped to disseminate the ideas of the Bolognese School throughout Europe. This engraving depicts Saint Francis of Assisi in a moment of religious ecstasy. The saint, identifiable by his tonsure and simple robe, kneels before a crucifix, his hands clasped in prayer. A skull rests near an open book at his feet, symbols of mortality and contemplation. The scene is set in a rocky, barren environment, with a gnarled tree on the left and a steep cliff face on the right. The figure of Christ on the cross is rendered with careful attention to anatomy. The engraving is executed with fine lines and precise detail, typical of Carracci's printmaking style.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
