Translation provided by Youdao
In a vision, Mary appears to St. Francis and grants him the mystical experience of receiving the baby Jesus out of her arms. Mary is sitting on a cloud on the right in front of the golden heaven and hands the child to Francis, who is kneeling in front of him. Francis smiles and spreads his arms to pick the baby up. The wounds (stigmata) can be seen on his hands. Two angels appear behind Mary as her escort of honor. This vision is a so-called Unio Mystica, a mystical union with God. In the clouds at the top left, an angel and two putti attend the event. In the lower right corner, two putti are playing with symbols. The seated putto holds the Holy Scriptures, the standing putto holds a crucifix over a skull, a clear allusion to Golgotha ​​(place of the skull), the place of the crucifixion. The scene symbolizes the redemption from death through Christ. At the bottom left there is a view of the landscape. Oil on Canvas 167,5 x 112 cm
