This portrait of Francis Xavier (also: Francisco de Xavier/Francisco de Gassu y Javier/Francisco de Jassu y Azpilcueta) painted by a member of a Japanese-Christian painting school dates from the beginning of the 17th century. The portrait depicts the typical iconographical characteristics of Xavier: the cross brings together the flaming heart and the open heavens, or contemplation and action.
