Francis sinks back into the arms of an angel, with only one wound showing: the one at his heart. Around them, night, lit by a strange glow. Painted about 1595, it is the first of Caravaggio's religious paintings, and his angel looks like a real boy wearing a sheet and stage-prop wings. Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford.
