"San Bernardino; A Franciscan Monk" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance artist Vittorio Crivelli, brother of the more famous Carlo Crivelli. Vittorio was active during the late 15th century and is known for his religious works that often mirrored the style of his brother, with a focus on elaborate decoration and the use of gold leaf. The painting in question depicts Saint Bernardino of Siena, who was a prominent Franciscan preacher and missionary known for his devotion to the Virgin Mary and for promoting the name of Jesus.

The artwork is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and the saint's serene expression, which was typical of Vittorio Crivelli's portraiture. Saint Bernardino is often portrayed holding a tablet with the monogram of Christ (IHS), reflecting his efforts to popularize this symbol during his lifetime. In Crivelli's representation, the saint's austere monastic habit contrasts with the intricate ornamentation and rich colors of the background, a juxtaposition that highlights the spiritual purity of the subject.

"San Bernardino; A Franciscan Monk" is an example of Vittorio Crivelli's contribution to the art of the Italian Renaissance, showcasing his ability to blend the spiritual intensity of the era's religious figures with the decorative elegance that characterized the period's aesthetic. The painting is an important piece for understanding the lesser-known Crivelli's oeuvre and the religious iconography of the time. It serves as a testament to the enduring influence of the Franciscan order and its saints on Renaissance art and spirituality.
