"The Last Communion of St. Joseph of Calasanz" is a pivotal work by the renowned Spanish Romantic painter Francisco de Goya y Lucientes1746-1828). Painted in 1819, the artwork elegantly depicts the emotional scene of the communion of St. Joseph of Calasanz, a Spanish priest, educator, and the founder of the Pious Schools, in his final hours of life.

Goya's brilliant use of light and shadow in this painting emphasizes the spiritual episode, evoking a sense of the divine presence surrounding St. Joseph of Calasanz. In the painting, Goya illustrates St. Joseph kneeling at the altar, receiving the Blessed Sacrament from the hands of a bishop, under the divine light breaking from the heavens above. Other characters have also been depicted in the scene, including altar boys, church officials, and spectators, all adding to the drama and intensity of the moment.

Set in a church interior, the painting leverages stark contrasts with the darkened surroundings to highlight the enlightened central figures. This measure underscores the sanctity of the sacrament and the underlying religious symbolism.

This masterwork stands out among Goya's later paintings for its luminous intensity and fervent religious sentiment that somewhat deviate from his typical style. The painting, measuring 350 x 232 cm, is currently housed in the Church of San Antón, Madrid, attracting visitors and scholars worldwide for its profound artistic value.

"The Last Communion of St. Joseph of Calasanz" is considered a masterpiece for its exquisite depiction of a poignant religious moment, its breathtaking interplay of light and shadow, and its historical significance as a record of a key moment in the life of St. Joseph of Calasanz.
