"The Ecstasy of St. Francis" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Giovanni Bellini, who finished it around 1480. It is now housed in the Frick Collection of New York, United States.
The work is signed "IOANNES BELLINUS" on a small chart visible in the lower left corner.
It portrays St. Francis of Assisi in ecstasy while receiving the stigmata. On left is an immobile donkey which can be interpreted as a symbol of humility and patience, but also of laziness, stupidity or obstinacy. On the right, on a table, is a skull, representing death.
