"St Ivo" c. 1450 is a notable painting by the Early Netherlandish painter Rogier van der Weyden, one of the most influential artists of the 15th century. The painting is a portrait of Saint Ivo of Kermartin (1253–1303), the patron saint of lawyers and abandoned children, who was renowned for his advocacy for the poor and his incorruptible nature as a judge. Van der Weyden's depiction of St Ivo is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, rich color palette, and the emotional depth typical of the artist's work.

The painting is believed to have been completed around 1450, during the period when van der Weyden was at the height of his artistic powers and had established himself in Brussels. "St Ivo" is executed in oil on an oak panel, a medium that allowed van der Weyden to achieve smooth, translucent effects in his rendering of fabrics and complexions, which became a hallmark of his style. The saint is shown in a three-quarter length format, seated at a desk with a book and quill, symbols of his scholarly and judicial work. His gaze is directed outward, engaging the viewer in a moment of contemplation.

"St Ivo" is notable for its psychological insight and the way it reflects the spiritual ideals of the time, emphasizing the virtues of piety and justice. The painting's provenance and the exact circumstances of its commission remain subjects of scholarly research, but it is known to have been highly regarded in its time, as were many of van der Weyden's religious works.

Today, "St Ivo" is held in high esteem as an example of van der Weyden's contribution to the development of portraiture and his ability to convey complex human emotions and moral values through his art. The painting is part of the collection of the National Gallery in London, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
