The Vision of Saint Francis of Assisi, Ludovico Carracci, between 1583 and 1585

The virgin mary handing over the infant christ to st. Francis of assisi. Religious emotional experience is an important aspect of carracci's work. Depicted here, for the first time in art, is the virgin appearing to saint francis, who receives the christ child from her. Carracci created a stark contrast between the heavenly light around the virgin and the nocturnal darkness, thus emphasizing the intensely spiritual nature of saint francis's vision.
