"Saint Luke Reading" is a notable painting by the Italian Baroque artist Salvator Rosa, created in the mid-17th century. Salvator Rosa, born in 1615 in Naples, was a multifaceted artist known for his work as a painter, poet, actor, and musician. His oeuvre is characterized by its dramatic intensity, imaginative landscapes, and often unconventional subject matter, which set him apart from many of his contemporaries.

The painting depicts Saint Luke, one of the four Evangelists, who is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Luke and the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament. In "Saint Luke Reading," Rosa presents the saint in a contemplative pose, engrossed in a manuscript. The composition is marked by its somber palette and the use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs stark contrasts between light and dark to create a sense of volume and three-dimensionality. This method enhances the spiritual and introspective atmosphere of the scene.

Rosa's portrayal of Saint Luke is imbued with a sense of intellectual vigor and divine inspiration. The saint is often associated with the symbol of the ox or calf, representing sacrifice and service, which may be subtly referenced in the painting's iconography. The background is typically sparse, focusing the viewer's attention on the figure of Saint Luke and his scholarly pursuit.

"Saint Luke Reading" exemplifies Rosa's skill in capturing the psychological depth and emotional intensity of his subjects. The painting not only reflects the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to convey complex theological themes through visual art. It remains a significant work within Rosa's artistic legacy and a fine example of Baroque religious painting.
