"Saint Ives Receiving Supplicants" is an eminent oil painting by renowned Flemish artist Jacob Jordaens1593–1678). The artwork, completed in circa 1640, measures 255 cm x 324 cm and currently resides in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Lyon, France. It portrays the popular Breton saint, Ives of Kermartin, widely venerated as the patron saint of lawyers and social justice.

The subject matter illustrates a critical theme in Jordaens' oeuvre: the depiction of Christian themes in daily life. In this scene, Saint Ives, also known as Saint Yves, is depicted in the act of adjudicating disputes among the local populace. His portrayal as a judge symbolises his role as an advocate of the poor and a dispenser of justice, the depiction of everyday people yielding to his wisdom ratifies his status as a beloved figure.

The painting is representative of Jordaens' style, with the use of dramatic, contrasting light and shade that casts an array of characters into relief. The attention to the detailing of fabric and texture is a manifestation of Jordaens' artistic virtuosity, while the vivid portrayal of human expressions lends depth and humanity to the work.

"Saint Ives Receiving Supplicants" exemplifies Jordaens' adeptness at imbuing a religious and historical subject with a sense of immediacy and realism. It is a testament to his command over Baroque art conventions, and remains a defining contribution to 17th Century Flemish art.
