期间,诗是照顾他的母亲他创造了圣弗朗西斯在狂喜。在此期间基督教艺术是非常受欢迎的,这是圣徒的使用在每一个类型的工作。圣人被认为是上帝的耳朵和一切情况有一个圣人。诗使用许多不同的圣人在他的作品中,一个如果他最著名的作品他使用亚西西的圣方济各。根据琼斯,圣弗朗西斯“福音书的规则,耶稣基督为他文字的例子。他穿着粗糙的衣服,乞求他的生计,鼓吹纯洁和和平。他的家人不同意,和他的父亲剥夺继承权的他,弗朗西斯正式宣布放弃他的财富和继承。他参观了医院,服务病人,鼓吹在街上,和把所有男人和女人的兄弟姐妹,访问并传给萨拉森人,由歌曲和诗歌上帝与自然,与动物生活,用手工作,照顾麻风病人,打扫教堂,并把食物送到小偷。1209年他开始吸引追随者,教皇的祝福,方济各会的创立基于一个简单的声明由耶稣:“离开,跟我来。“1212年克莱尔的阿西西成为他精神的学生,导致穷人的创始克莱尔。1221年,他辞职方济各会的方向。在冥想山上Alvernia亚平宁山脉的1224年9月,弗朗西斯收到气孔,定期流血在剩下的两年里他的生活。这个奇迹有一个单独的纪念9月17日。”
这幅画的主要焦点是光环,也称为灵气。这是放在宗教人物和象征着永恒的生命和永恒。诗没有走出他Carravogesque习惯是,这是一个早期的工作,因此使用深颜色传递死亡。黑暗的背景之间的对比和光环使这画的焦点。圣弗朗西斯的脸上的表情表明他是一个非常热情的经验可能向上看向天。
During the period that Strozzi was caring for his mother he created St. Francis in Ecstasy. During this time Christian art was very popular and with it was the use of saints in every type of work. Saints are thought to be the ears of god and everything or situation has a saint. Strozzi used many different saints in his works and one if his most notable works he used St. Francis of Assisi. According to Terry Jones, St. Francis "took the Gospels as the rule of his life, Jesus Christ as his literal example. He dressed in rough clothes, begged for his sustenance, and preached purity and peace. His family disapproved, and his father disinherited him; Francis formally renounced his wealth and inheritance. He visited hospitals, served the sick, preached in the streets, and took all men and women as siblings, visited and preached to the Saracens, composed songs and hymns to God and nature, lived with animals, worked with his hands, cared for lepers, cleaned churches, and sent food to thieves. He began to attract followers in 1209, and with papal blessing, founded the Franciscans based on a simple statement by Jesus: "Leave all and follow me." In 1212 Clare of Assisi became his spiritual student, which led to the founding of the Poor Clares. In 1221 he resigned direction of the Franciscans. While in meditation on Mount Alvernia in the Apennines in September 1224, Francis received the stigmata, which periodically bled during the remaining two years of his life. This miracle has a separate memorial on 17 September."
The main focal point of this painting is the halo, also referred to as a nimbus. This is placed behind the heads of religious figures and symbolizes eternal life or eternity. Strozzi had not come out of his Carravogesque habits being that this is an early work and therefore uses deep colors conveying death. The contrast between the dark back ground and the halo makes this the focal point of the painting. The expression on St. Francis' face suggests that he is having a very passionate experience looking upward presumably toward heaven.
