''Saint Francis of Assisi in Ecstasy'' is a lost painting by
El Greco. A c.1600 work in the collection of the
Museo del Prado (but hanging in the
El Greco Museum, Toledo) was once thought to be the work itself, but is now thought to be an anonymous 17th century copy of it, a work by one of his followers or a work from his studio.
