Saint Francis in Ecstasy, presented in the exhibition dedicated to Guido Reni, was damaged by a visitor who tripped. The painting, which is considered to be in stable condition, has been covered with a protective varnish and will remain on display as planned until May 22, according to a statement from the institution.
