In this detail (1484–86), Pinturicchio depicts St Francis displaying the stigmata and holding a book with the crown of thorns and nails of Christ’s Passion. The flaming heart on his chest symbolizes his burning love for God. The scene reflects Franciscan devotion, linking St Francis to St Bernardino’s spiritual legacy.
