"St. Jean de Matha Renounces his Doctorate" is a painting by the Italian-born Spanish Baroque artist Vincenzo Carducci (also known as Vicente Carducho). Carducci, who was born in Florence in 1576 and died in Madrid in 1638, was an influential figure in the Spanish art scene of the early 17th century. This work is one of his religious-themed paintings, which was a prevalent genre during the Counter-Reformation period, a time when the Catholic Church sought to reaffirm its spiritual authority through art, among other means.

The painting depicts a significant moment in the life of Saint John of Matha, the founder of the Trinitarian Order, which was dedicated to the redemption of Christian captives. According to hagiographic accounts, John of Matha, after receiving his doctorate in Paris, experienced a divine revelation during his first mass. This vision prompted him to renounce his worldly achievements and dedicate his life to the service of God and the liberation of slaves. Carducci's portrayal of this event is characterized by the dramatic use of light and shadow, a hallmark of Baroque art, which serves to emphasize the emotional intensity of the moment and the spiritual awakening experienced by the saint.

The painting is notable for its expressive realism and the skillful depiction of the figures' psychological states, as well as for its use of color and composition to guide the viewer's attention to the central action. "St. Jean de Matha Renounces his Doctorate" is an example of Carducci's mastery in conveying complex religious narratives and his contribution to the development of Baroque painting in Spain.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not documented, it is likely to have been produced during Carducci's mature period, when he was actively working on commissions for various religious institutions. The painting's current location, provenance, and historical significance within Carducci's oeuvre and Spanish Baroque art, in general, would require further research to provide a comprehensive understanding of its impact and legacy.
