"Charity of St. Thomas of Villanueva" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1668. The painting depicts Saint Thomas of Villanueva, Archbishop of Valencia, who was renowned for his charity and care for the poor. Murillo, celebrated for his religious works and genre scenes, captures the essence of the saint's benevolence as he is shown giving alms to a group of needy individuals.

The composition of the painting is characteristic of Murillo's mature style, where he employs a soft, warm palette and demonstrates a skilled use of chiaroscuro to enhance the three-dimensionality of the figures and to spotlight the central act of charity. The saint is typically portrayed in the center or at the right of the composition, dressed in his ecclesiastical robes, with his hand outstretched to give alms to the poor, including children, who are depicted with a sense of individuality and emotional resonance.

"Charity of St. Thomas of Villanueva" is significant not only for its artistic merits but also for its social and religious commentary, reflecting the values of the Counter-Reformation and the Catholic Church's emphasis on charity. The painting is a testament to Murillo's ability to convey complex theological themes through compassionate and humane imagery.

This work is part of a series of paintings dedicated to the life of St. Thomas of Villanueva, which were commissioned for the Capuchin church in Seville, Spain. The series helped to solidify Murillo's reputation as a leading religious painter of his time. Today, "Charity of St. Thomas of Villanueva" is recognized as one of Murillo's masterpieces and holds an important place in the history of Spanish art. It continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its portrayal of Christian virtue, serving as an exemplar of Murillo's artistic legacy and the Baroque period's religious art.
