"San Francisco de Paula" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish artist Lucas Valdés (1661–1724), a member of the prominent Valdés family of painters from Seville. The artwork, which dates back to the late 17th or early 18th century, depicts Saint Francis of Paola, the founder of the Order of the Minims. Known for his humility and dedication to a life of penance and charity, the saint is often portrayed in art with a humble demeanor and monastic garb, which is likely reflected in Valdés's rendition.

Lucas Valdés, son of the esteemed painter Juan de Valdés Leal, was influenced by his father's dramatic style and the intense chiaroscuro of the Baroque period. In "San Francisco de Paula," Valdés would have employed these stylistic elements to capture the saint's spiritual intensity and the asceticism of his character. The painting is an example of the religious art that flourished during the Spanish Baroque, a period marked by a strong Catholic identity and the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on religious themes.

While the exact dimensions and current location of "San Francisco de Paula" are not specified in this introduction, such works are typically held in religious institutions or private collections, and may also be found in museums that specialize in Spanish Baroque art. Valdés's portrayal of Saint Francis of Paola contributes to the understanding of Baroque religious iconography and offers insight into the devotional practices and artistic preferences of the period in which it was created.
