"A Bishop Saint Praying at an Altar with Angels Above" is a Baroque-era oil painting by the Italian artist Alessandro Turchi, also known as l'Orbetto (1578–1649). The work is notable for its depiction of a saintly figure, presumed to be a bishop due to the ecclesiastical vestments and the mitre, engaged in devout prayer at an altar. Above him, a congregation of angels is portrayed, suggesting a celestial connection and divine presence in response to the bishop's piety.

Turchi's painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Baroque style, which serves to emphasize the spiritual intensity of the scene. The composition is carefully constructed to guide the viewer's eye towards the central figure of the bishop, whose posture and expression convey a sense of humility and fervor. The angels, rendered with delicate features and flowing garments, add a sense of movement and ethereality to the piece.

Although the exact date of creation is not definitively known, "A Bishop Saint Praying at an Altar with Angels Above" is believed to have been painted during Turchi's mature period, when he had fully developed his style after being influenced by the works of his contemporaries in Rome, where he spent a significant portion of his career. Turchi's works are known for their blend of Venetian colorism and the dynamic chiaroscuro of the Roman Baroque, and this painting is a quintessential example of his adeptness at merging these artistic traditions.

The painting is also an illustration of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the intercession of saints and the role of the Church's hierarchy in mediating between the divine and the faithful. As such, it would have served both as an object of devotion and as a visual affirmation of Catholic doctrine during a time of religious strife and reform.

"A Bishop Saint Praying at an Altar with Angels Above" is a testament to Alessandro Turchi's skill as a painter and his contribution to the Baroque movement. It remains an important work for the study of 17th-century Italian art and the religious and cultural context in which it was created.
