"St. Valentine Baptising St. Lucilla" (Italian: "San Valentino battezza santa Lucilla") is a notable work by the Italian painter Jacopo Bassano, also known as Jacopo da Ponte. This painting, dating from the late Renaissance period, exemplifies Bassano's skill in combining religious themes with a vivid portrayal of rural life, a hallmark of his artistic style. The artwork captures the moment when Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr known for his compassion and healing, is baptizing Saint Lucilla, thereby restoring her sight.

The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume in modeling three-dimensional objects and figures. Bassano's attention to detail and his ability to infuse the scene with emotional intensity are evident in the expressions and gestures of the figures. The artist's mastery in rendering textures and his rich color palette contribute to the overall impact of the piece.

While the exact date of creation is uncertain, "St. Valentine Baptising St. Lucilla" is believed to have been painted in the latter half of the 16th century, during Bassano's mature period. The work is significant for its depiction of lesser-known saints and for providing insight into the religious and cultural context of the time. It is an example of the Venetian school's influence on Bassano, particularly the impact of Titian, whose work Bassano studied and from whom he drew inspiration.

The painting is held in high regard for its art historical value and is often studied for its innovative approach to religious subject matter, blending the sacred with the pastoral. It remains an important piece in understanding the evolution of Venetian painting and the broader context of the Renaissance in Italy. As of the knowledge cutoff date, the current location of the painting or its history of ownership and exhibition is not specified.
