"The Ecstasy of St. Theresa" is a notable Baroque painting by the Flemish artist Jean Baptiste de Champaigne, a nephew and pupil of the more famous Philippe de Champaigne. This artwork, not to be confused with the similarly named sculpture by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, depicts the mystical experience of Saint Teresa of Ávila, a prominent Spanish mystic, religious reformer, author, and theologian of the Catholic Church. The painting is a visual representation of the saint's divine ecstasy, a theme commonly explored in Baroque art, which sought to evoke emotional responses through dramatic expression and intense imagery.

In the painting, St. Theresa is typically shown in a moment of spiritual rapture, often with an angel by her side, referencing her own descriptions of her mystical visions. The work is characterized by its use of light and shadow, a technique known as chiaroscuro, which was prevalent among Baroque artists and served to heighten the dramatic effect of the scene. Jean Baptiste de Champaigne's rendition of this subject would have been influenced by the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on direct, personal religious experience and the use of art as a means of inspiring faith and devotion.

While the exact date of creation for "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa" by Jean Baptiste de Champaigne is not well-documented, it would have been produced during the artist's active period in the 17th century. The painting's current location, provenance, and historical significance would typically be included in this introduction; however, due to the lack of specific information regarding this particular work, such details are not provided here.

Jean Baptiste de Champaigne's artistic legacy is often overshadowed by that of his uncle, yet his works contribute to the understanding of the Baroque period's religious art and its impact on European art history. "The Ecstasy of St. Theresa" remains an important example of the era's religious paintings, capturing the intensity and fervor of the Counter-Reformation's spiritual ideals.
