"St. Diego Giving Alms" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created in the 17th century, specifically around 1670. This work is part of a series of paintings depicting the life of Saint Diego de Alcalá, a Franciscan brother known for his piety and charity, who lived in the 15th century. Murillo, renowned for his religious compositions and his ability to convey warmth, humanity, and divine light, captures a moment of compassion and charity emblematic of Saint Diego's life.

The painting showcases Saint Diego, identifiable by his Franciscan habit, in the act of giving alms to the poor, a theme that resonated deeply with the Counter-Reformation ideals of charity and the direct engagement of the faithful in acts of piety. Murillo's mastery in the use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful depiction of the human figure, imbues the scene with a sense of immediacy and emotional depth, inviting the viewer to contemplate the virtues of charity and humility.

"St. Diego Giving Alms" is celebrated for its composition and the way it exemplifies Murillo's soft, luminous style, which contributed significantly to the development of Spanish Baroque painting. The work is a testament to Murillo's ability to convey complex religious themes through accessible, human narratives, making his paintings deeply resonant with contemporary audiences.

This painting not only reflects the religious and social values of its time but also offers insight into Murillo's artistic concerns and his contribution to the visual culture of the Baroque period. As such, "St. Diego Giving Alms" holds a place of importance in the oeuvre of Murillo and in the broader context of 17th-century Spanish art, representing a poignant example of the era's religious art and its enduring legacy.
