"Saint Philomena" is an oil painting by the Spanish artist José Gutiérrez de la Vega, created in the 19th century. The artwork depicts Saint Philomena, a young virgin martyr whose remains were discovered in the Catacombs of Priscilla in Rome in the early 19th century and who became a popular saint following the discovery. Gutiérrez de la Vega, known for his religious works and portraits, captures the innocence and piety of Saint Philomena in this piece.

The painting portrays Saint Philomena in a traditional iconographic manner, often shown with symbols associated with her martyrdom and sainthood, such as arrows, a palm branch, or an anchor. These symbols reference the torments she endured during her martyrdom under the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The saint is typically depicted as a young girl wearing a crown or garland, signifying her purity and her status as a princess, which is consistent with the legendary account of her life.

Gutiérrez de la Vega's work reflects the devotional practices and artistic tastes of his time, particularly the renewed interest in early Christian martyrs and the Romantic fascination with the lives of saints. His portrayal of Saint Philomena contributes to the visual culture surrounding the saint, whose cult was widespread in the 19th century, especially after Pope Gregory XVI authorized her public veneration in 1837.

The painting is an example of the artist's skill in rendering religious sentiment and his ability to imbue his subjects with a sense of grace and sanctity. While the exact date of the painting's creation and its current location are not specified in this introduction, "Saint Philomena" by José Gutiérrez de la Vega remains a significant work within the context of Spanish religious art and the broader hagiographic tradition.
