Sourced Overview Evidence
This painting is one of eleven canvases Murillo executed for a Franciscan monastery in Seville. The series, Murillo’s first large-scale commission, illustrates important figures in the history of the Franciscan Order. Represented here is an event associated with Giles of Assisi (circa 1190–1262), one of Saint Francis’s original and dearest companions, known for his wisdom and piety. Giles’s religious fervor was reportedly so intense he experienced moments of divine rapture. The painting records an occasion, described in early literary sources and the verses below the scene, when Giles fell into an ecstasy before Pope Gregory IX (r. 1227–41). Taking some artistic license, Murillo depicts Giles levitating several inches above the luxurious Persian carpet. [L. Humphrey, "The People's Collection, Reimagined," 2026]
