Ecstasy of St. Francis of Assisi

The Ecstasy of St. Francis of Assisi (also titled St. Francis Receiving the Stigmata) is an oil painting depicting Saint Francis of Assisi, which is attributed to the Spanish painter of Greek descent, Dominikos Theotokopoulos, known as El Greco. The work was accidentally discovered in 1964 in Kosów Lacki by Izabella Galicka and Hanna Sygietyńska-Kwoczyńska. It is housed in the collection of the Diocesan Museum in Siedlce and was publicly exhibited only 40 years after its discovery.
