"Le Retour du Fils Prodigue" (The Return of the Prodigal Son) is a Baroque painting by the Italian artist Lionello Spada (1576–1622). Spada, a follower of Caravaggio, was known for his dramatic use of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture emotional intensity in his works. This painting, which dates from the early 17th century, is an interpretation of the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son, as told in the Gospel of Luke. The parable speaks to themes of repentance and forgiveness, depicting a wayward son who squanders his inheritance but is welcomed back by his father with open arms when he returns home, remorseful.

In Spada's rendition, the focus is on the moment of the son's return, capturing the emotional climax of the story. The artist's use of light and shadow not only enhances the drama of the scene but also serves to highlight the expressions and gestures of the characters, thus conveying the depth of the father's compassion and the son's contrition. The composition is typical of the Baroque period, with its dynamic figures and emphasis on movement, suggesting the influence of Caravaggio's tenebrism and naturalism.

While "Le Retour du Fils Prodigue" is a significant work within Spada's oeuvre, it also contributes to the broader artistic tradition of interpreting biblical narratives in the Baroque era, reflecting the period's religious fervor and its interest in exploring complex human emotions through art. The painting is an example of how artists of the time sought to engage viewers on both spiritual and emotional levels, inviting them to reflect on moral lessons through the power of visual storytelling.

The painting is held in a private collection, and as such, it has not been as widely studied or exhibited as some other interpretations of the same theme by artists like Rembrandt or Poussin. Nonetheless, "Le Retour du Fils Prodigue" by Lionello Spada remains an important work for understanding the development of Baroque painting in Italy and the enduring appeal of biblical subjects in European art.
