This painting, "Saint Joseph," by Spanish Baroque artist Jusepe de Ribera, portrays the biblical figure as a weathered and contemplative man. The dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique favored by Ribera, creates a sense of depth and emphasizes the saint's features. Saint Joseph’s expressive eyes and open mouth, along with the delicate flowers in his hand, lend a sense of quiet reverence and contemplation to the composition. The dark background further draws the viewer's focus to the saint's face and expression.
