"St. Thomas of Villanova Distributing Alms" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, created circa 1668. The painting depicts the charitable act of Saint Thomas of Villanova, a 16th-century Spanish bishop known for his generosity and care for the poor. Murillo, celebrated for his religious works and genre scenes, captures the essence of the saint's compassion and humility in this work.

The composition presents St. Thomas dressed in his Augustinian bishop's robes, surrounded by a crowd of the needy and infirm, to whom he is distributing alms. The scene is set against a backdrop that suggests an architectural setting, possibly indicative of the saint's affiliation with the church. Murillo's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of the figures, imbues the painting with a sense of drama and emotional depth.

This painting is one of several works by Murillo that illustrate the life and deeds of St. Thomas of Villanova. It reflects the Counter-Reformation ideals of the Catholic Church, emphasizing charity and the virtues of the saints. The artwork is exemplary of Murillo's mature style, characterized by soft, warm tones and a tender, naturalistic approach to his subjects.

"St. Thomas of Villanova Distributing Alms" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an expression of the values of the period in which it was created. The painting is part of the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville, Spain, a city where Murillo spent most of his life and produced his most significant works. The artwork continues to be studied and admired for its historical context, technical excellence, and the insight it provides into the social concerns of 17th-century Spain.
