St Francis retreated to Mount Alverna in 1224 where he had a vision of the crucified Christ during which he was pierced with Christ's wounds. In this picture, his companion, Brother Leo, is seated on the left. The background of the painting is influenced by the work of Joachim Patenir and the painting was probably executed in Antwerp where Patenir was active in the early sixteenth century.
