"An angel consoles him with music." Series on the Life of St. Francis. Workshop of Basilio de Santa Cruz, c. 1670-1680. Oil on cloth. I40x 150 cm. The scene seems filled with music and is illuminated with the magnificence of the angel - reminiscent of the winged figures of Francisco de Zurbarán - who comes to console St. Francis.

This brightness contrasts with the austerity of the monks and their cell. St. Francis lies on a narrow bed, covered with an Indian woven blanket.
