Stigmata of St. Francis

St. Francis of Assisi, deep in prayer on Mount La Verna, receives the stigmata—miraculous wounds mirroring those of Christ’s crucifixion—while Brother Leo watches in awe from the hermitage doorway. Th

Setting

A remote hermitage on Mount La Verna, a rugged and forested mountain in Tuscany. The small stone structure is nestled among the trees, with a simple wooden cross mounted above the doorway. Inside, the space is sparse, with rough-hewn walls and a dirt floor. The hermitage opens to a small clearing where St. Francis is kneeling in prayer.

TNGF
SELECTED
St. Francis of Assisi
primary
A gaunt man in his early forties, with sunken cheeks and deep-set eyes that seem to glow with an inner light. His wiry frame shows the marks of years of fasting and penance, with prominent veins visible on his hands. His brown hair is cropped short in the tonsure style, graying slightly at the temples. His beard is unkempt but short, with streaks of gray.
Brother Leo
secondary
A thin, middle-aged man with a gaunt face marked by deep lines from years of ascetic living. His sunken cheeks and prominent brow give him a perpetually contemplative look, while his short, graying beard and tonsured hair signal his monastic vows. His hands are rough from manual labor but rest gently at his sides.
Hermit Guard
background
A weathered man in his late 60s, with a thin, sinewy build and deeply tanned skin from years of outdoor living. His long, unkempt beard is streaked with gray, and his sunken eyes gleam with a mix of wisdom and weariness. His hands are rough and calloused from manual labor, and he moves with a slow, deliberate gait.
