"San Francisco de Paula" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, also known as José de Ribera or Lo Spagnoletto. Created in 1637, this work exemplifies Ribera's mastery in depicting religious figures with a remarkable sense of realism and emotional depth. The painting portrays Saint Francis of Paola, the founder of the Order of the Minims, in a moment of contemplative prayer or ecstasy, a common theme in Ribera's oeuvre.

The artwork is distinguished by its dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark to achieve a sense of volume and to focus the viewer's attention on the central figure. Ribera's skillful handling of light not only highlights the saint's intense expression and the texture of his humble garments but also serves to enhance the spiritual atmosphere of the scene.

"San Francisco de Paula" reflects Ribera's influence by Caravaggio and his followers, evident in the naturalism and the powerful psychological presence of the depicted saint. Ribera, who spent most of his career in Naples, was a leading figure in the Spanish school of painting and had a significant impact on the development of both Spanish and Italian Baroque art.

The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, where it continues to be admired for its artistic and devotional qualities. As a work that captures the essence of Counter-Reformation art, "San Francisco de Paula" remains an important piece for understanding Ribera's artistic legacy and the broader context of 17th-century European painting.
