"St Paul The Hermit" is a seminal artwork created by the celebrated Italian artist Giovanni Francesco Barbieri, often known as Guercino, around 1645. Emanating Barbieri's noted Baroque style, the painting portrays the recluse St. Paul of Thebes, also known as St. Paul the Hermit. The Hermit is depicted deeply absorbed in devout contemplation amid his solitude in Egyptian desert, hence symbolizing the theme of faith and surrender.

As an exemplification of Barbieri's ability to depict passion and emotion, the artwork uses dramatic illumination and somber tones illustrating St. Paul the Hermit’s austerity and ascetic life. He holds a Bible to reflect his devoutness and commitment to divine scripture while a raven, which according to the legend used to bring bread to Paul every day, is displayed in the canvas symbolizing divine providence.

The artwork is housed at the National Museum of Capodimonte, Naples, Italy, where it continues to draw enthusiasts of Baroque art and theology for its compelling portrayal of tranquility, solitude, and deep spiritual dedication. The painting stands as a testament to Barbieri's knack for visual storytelling, making "St Paul The Hermit" a significant contribution to 17th-century Italian Baroque painting.
