Engraving of a kneeling bearded saint with a halo, arms raised toward a winged seraph in clouds, with two angels and a skull in a rocky landscape.

Saint Francis of Assisi receiving the stigmata of Christ from a seraph; two angels beside him. Etching by C. Alberti, 1577.

A kneeling bearded friar with a halo kneels in a rocky landscape beneath a tree, arms opened toward a winged seraph descending from clouds above. Two angels flank him, and a skull lies in the lower left. The fine engraved lines and cross-hatching model the robes and sky.

Español: San Francisco de Asís recibiendo los estigmas, grabado de Cherubino Alberti, 1577

Un fraile barbado con aureola se arrodilla en un paisaje rocoso bajo un árbol, con los brazos abiertos hacia un serafín alado que desciende de las nubes. Dos ángeles lo acompañan, y en la parte inferior izquierda yace un cráneo. Las líneas grabadas finas y el rayado cruzado modelan los hábitos y el cielo.

Um frade barbudo com auréola ajoelha-se numa paisagem rochosa sob uma árvore, com os braços abertos em direção a um serafim alado que desce das nuvens. Dois anjos o acompanham, e um crânio aparece no canto inferior esquerdo. As linhas finas da gravura e o hachurado cruzado modelam os hábitos e o céu.
