Saint Francis Receiving the Stigmata is an oil painting on canvas by Peter Paul Rubens. It was originally produced as an altarpiece for the Franciscan Recollects Church in Ghent.[1] The church also housed other works by Rubens, including St Mary Magdalene in Ecstasy[2] and The Virgin Mary and Saint Francis Saving the World from Christ's Anger.[3]
In 1797 the painting was seized from Saint Peter's Abbey, Ghent to form part of a new 'Nationaal Museum', which opened to the public in 1802. It now hangs in the Museum of Fine Arts, Ghent.[1]
