"St Onuphrius" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco Collantes, who was active during the early to mid-17th century. This work depicts Saint Onuphrius, an Egyptian hermit saint who lived in complete solitude in the desert of Thebaid and is recognized in Christian hagiography for his asceticism and piety. Collantes, known for his landscape paintings and religious scenes, brings to life the story of the saint with a dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristic of the tenebrist style that was prominent among his contemporaries.

The painting showcases St Onuphrius in the wilderness, often portrayed with a long beard and scantily clad in leaves or animal skins, which is emblematic of his reclusive life away from civilization. Collantes' attention to detail in the landscape elements and the hermit's expression reflects the spiritual and emotional intensity of the subject. The work is a testament to Collantes' skill in blending naturalistic landscapes with religious iconography, creating a scene that is both evocative and contemplative.

"St Onuphrius" by Francisco Collantes is an important piece within the artist's oeuvre, offering insight into the religious and artistic sensibilities of 17th-century Spain. It contributes to the understanding of Baroque art and its thematic preoccupation with religious figures and narratives. The painting is not only significant for its artistic merit but also as a cultural artifact that reflects the period's theological interests and the veneration of saints in Spanish society.
