Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata (El Greco, Baltimore)

Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata is a c.1585 oil on canvas painting by El Greco, now in the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore. ^{[1] [2]} It shows Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata. ^[3]

Simultaneously he painted a second version (now in the Escorial). Both are signed, though the second has been cut down and so its signature is incomplete.
