Sebastiano del Piombo's "St. Louis of Toulouse" (San Ludovico da Tolosa) is a significant work of Renaissance art, reflecting the artist's mastery and the religious fervor of the period. Created around 1505, this painting is a testament to Sebastiano del Piombo's early career, showcasing his skillful use of color and composition. Born Sebastiano Luciani, the artist later adopted the name del Piombo after moving to Rome and taking up the lucrative position of the papal seal-bearer (piombatore).

The painting depicts St. Louis of Toulouse, a 13th-century French prince who renounced his royal title to join the Franciscan Order, eventually becoming a bishop. St. Louis is often portrayed in ecclesiastical attire, symbolizing his piety and dedication to the Church. In del Piombo's rendition, the saint is depicted with a serene and contemplative expression, emphasizing his spiritual devotion and humility. The use of rich, deep colors and the careful attention to the textures of the fabrics and the saint's features are characteristic of del Piombo's style, influenced by his Venetian training and his later exposure to the works of Michelangelo and Raphael in Rome.

The painting is notable for its balanced composition and the interplay of light and shadow, which highlights the saint's face and hands, drawing the viewer's attention to his serene demeanor and the symbolic attributes he holds. This work not only exemplifies Sebastiano del Piombo's artistic prowess but also serves as an important representation of the religious and cultural values of the Renaissance period.

Currently housed in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples, "St. Louis of Toulouse" remains an important piece for both art historians and enthusiasts, offering insight into the early development of Sebastiano del Piombo's artistic career and the broader context of Renaissance religious art.
