"Saint Thomas of Villanova" is an oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1668. The work depicts Saint Thomas of Villanova, a 16th-century Spanish bishop and theologian known for his charity and pastoral care, who was canonized by Pope Alexander VII in 1658. Murillo, renowned for his religious works and depictions of saints and biblical scenes, captures the essence of Saint Thomas's compassionate nature in this piece.

The painting portrays the saint in ecclesiastical robes, distributing alms to the poor, a theme consistent with his reputation as the "Almoner of the Poor." The composition focuses on the saint's gentle demeanor and the tender interaction between him and the recipients of his charity. Murillo's use of soft lighting and warm tones enhances the spiritual and emotional impact of the scene.

As a significant work of Murillo's mature period, "Saint Thomas of Villanova" exemplifies the artist's skill in combining realism with a sense of piety and devotion. The painting is noted for its naturalistic representation of the figures and the effective use of chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and volume.

The artwork is part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, Spain, the city where Murillo spent most of his life and produced his most important works. "Saint Thomas of Villanova" is considered one of the key pieces in understanding Murillo's religious iconography and his contribution to Spanish Baroque art. The painting is not only a reflection of the artist's technical prowess but also an expression of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on saints as models of Christian virtue and charity.
