"Saint Augustine" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, who is renowned for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his realistic depictions of religious and mythological subjects. Ribera, also known as "Lo Spagnoletto" due to his Spanish origins and his long career in Italy, particularly in Naples, created this work during a period when he was deeply influenced by the tenebrist style of Caravaggio.

The painting portrays Saint Augustine of Hippo, one of the most significant theologians and philosophers in Christian history. Ribera's depiction is marked by its intense realism and emotional depth, characteristics that are hallmarks of his oeuvre. Saint Augustine is shown in a moment of profound contemplation, his gaze directed upwards, suggesting a divine revelation or an intense spiritual experience. The saint is often depicted with his traditional attributes, such as a bishop's mitre and a book, symbolizing his role as a Doctor of the Church and his extensive theological writings.

Ribera's mastery of light and shadow is evident in this work, as he uses stark contrasts to highlight the saint's expressive face and hands, drawing the viewer's attention to the inner turmoil and spiritual fervor of the subject. The dark background serves to further accentuate the figure of Saint Augustine, creating a powerful visual impact.

This painting is a testament to Ribera's ability to convey complex human emotions and spiritual states through his art. It reflects the Baroque era's fascination with realism, drama, and the exploration of the human condition. "Saint Augustine" by Jusepe de Ribera remains an important work for its artistic merit and its insightful portrayal of one of Christianity's most influential figures.
