Saint Francis (c.1181–1226) is shown in the habit of the religious order he formed, the Friars Minor. He displays the stigmata, the scars corresponding to the five wounds of the crucified Christ. Francis’s gentle face is based on Cimabue’s image of the saint from the late thirteenth century. The fresco is one of three in the collection which were detached from the walls of a church in Bastia. Francis originally stood next to Saint Clare, flanking the Virgin and Child, with Saints Sebastian and Ansanus on the other side.
