"A Saint Healing the Plague Stricken" is a Baroque-era painting by the Italian artist Lionello Spada (1576–1622), a follower of the Caravaggisti, the stylistic followers of Caravaggio. The painting is a testament to Spada's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to convey intense emotion and drama through his work. The piece depicts a scene of a Christian saint, often interpreted as Saint Roch or Saint Sebastian, ministering to victims of the plague, reflecting the religious and social concerns of the time, particularly the outbreaks of disease that were common in Europe.

The composition is characterized by its stark contrasts of light and shadow, a hallmark of the Caravaggesque approach, which Spada adopted and adapted in his own style. The saint is typically shown in the act of healing or comforting the sick, with onlookers expressing a range of emotions from hope to despair. The painting's exact date is uncertain, but it is believed to have been created in the early 17th century, during Spada's mature period.

"A Saint Healing the Plague Stricken" is significant for its historical context, as it reflects the Catholic Church's response to the Protestant Reformation through the Counter-Reformation, where art was used as a means to inspire faith and devotion among the populace. The work is also notable for its artistic merit, as it showcases Spada's skill in creating a powerful narrative scene imbued with spiritual significance.

While the painting's current location is not always consistently documented, works by Lionello Spada can be found in various art collections and museums across Italy and Europe. The painting is an important piece within Spada's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of the Baroque period's religious and artistic landscape.
