St. Isidore saves a child that had fallen in a well 1647

Alonzo Cano's "St. Isidore saves a child that had fallen in a well" (1647) portrays the miracle of the saint, whose intervention saved a child trapped in a well. The dramatic scene, rendered in a dynamic composition, features the saint extending his hand towards the child while the mother looks on with hope and the other villagers witness the event with wonder. Cano's signature tenebrism, characterized by strong chiaroscuro effects, adds an intensity to the moment, further amplifying the spiritual impact of the miracle. The painting is a highlight of the Museo del Prado's collection and a notable example of Baroque Spanish art.
