"Saint Thomas of Villanova Giving Alms to the Poor" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1668. The artwork depicts Saint Thomas of Villanova, a 16th-century Spanish bishop known for his charity and care for the impoverished, in the act of distributing alms. Murillo, celebrated for his religious works and genre scenes, captures the essence of the saint's compassion and humility through this compassionate portrayal.

The painting is characterized by Murillo's soft, warm palette and his skillful use of chiaroscuro to highlight the figures and create a sense of depth. The composition centers on Saint Thomas, dressed in episcopal robes, as he tenderly offers coins to the needy who surround him. The expressions of the recipients range from gratitude to desperation, effectively conveying the dire circumstances of the poor and the benevolence of the saint.

Murillo's work reflects the Counter-Reformation ideals of the Catholic Church, emphasizing piety, charity, and the veneration of saints. "Saint Thomas of Villanova Giving Alms to the Poor" serves not only as an artistic masterpiece but also as a visual sermon, inspiring viewers to emulate the saint's virtues.
