"Sant'Apollonia" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Felice Ficherelli, also known as Il Riposo (1605–1660). This work of art, dating from the 17th century, depicts Saint Apollonia, an early Christian martyr who is the patroness of dentistry and those suffering from toothache. The painting is emblematic of Ficherelli's style, which is characterized by a blend of dynamism and delicacy, with a particular emphasis on the use of light and shadow to create a sense of depth and drama.

In "Sant'Apollonia," Ficherelli portrays the saint in a moment of serene acceptance of her fate, capturing both her piety and her fortitude. The painting typically shows her holding a pair of tongs with a tooth, referencing the torture she endured during the persecutions of Christians. The work is imbued with the Baroque qualities of emotional intensity and realism, inviting the viewer to engage with the subject's experience.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical and cultural context, reflecting the religious and social themes of the Baroque period in Italy. As with many of Ficherelli's works, "Sant'Apollonia" demonstrates the influence of his contemporaries, such as Caravaggio, in its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the realistic depiction of human emotion.

"Sant'Apollonia" by Felice Ficherelli is an important piece within the oeuvre of the artist and serves as a fine example of Baroque religious art. It continues to be studied for its stylistic qualities and its representation of Saint Apollonia, contributing to the understanding of Baroque painting and hagiographic iconography.
