Original Description
Pedro de Mena’s St. Francis of Assisi 2 is a hauntingly devotional sculpture carved from polychrome wood, capturing the ascetic saint at a moment of spiritual ecstasy. With sunken cheeks, glass eyes glistening with unshed tears, and hands pressed fervently against his chest—where stigmata wounds are meticulously detailed—the work epitomizes the hyper-realistic imaginería tradition of 17th-century Spanish Baroque. Created circa 1663–1664 during Mena’s tenure in Málaga, this masterpiece exemplifies his mastery of estofado (gilded and painted drapery) and the Counter-Reformation’s emphasis on emotionally charged religious imagery. It stands as a pinnacle of devotional sculpture, influencing generations of artists with its psychological depth and tactile realism—bridging the earthly and divine through art.
For a contemplative yet dramatic decor scheme, consider placing a high-quality reproduction of St. Francis of Assisi 2 in a study, meditation corner, or minimalist office. Opt for a niche with soft, directional lighting (like adjustable LED spotlights) to mimic the chiaroscuro effect of Baroque churches, intensifying the sculpture’s emotional resonance. Pair it with rustic wood furniture or Spanish Colonial-style tables to harmonize with its polychrome finish; warm neutrals (taupe, terracotta) or monastic grays in the backdrop will let its gold-and-ochre hues stand out. Choose a compact size (under 20 inches tall) for intimate spaces, ensuring it becomes a focal point without overwhelming. In a corporate setting, juxtapose it against sleek, monochrome shelves for a striking dialogue between austerity and modernity—elevating both the artwork and the space.
