Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy is a c.1600 painting of Francis of Assisi, showing the moment when he received the stigmata. Previously thought to be a work by El Greco, it is now thought to be an anonymous 17th century copy of a lost work by him, a work by one of his followers or a work from his studio. It is now in the collection of the Museo del Prado but hangs in the El Greco Museum, Toledo.
