Santo Domingo De Guzmán 1614

"Santo Domingo de Guzmán", a 1614 oil painting by Spanish artist Juan Bautista Maíno, depicts the titular saint in a contemplative pose. Domingo, the founder of the Dominican Order, is shown holding a model church in his right hand, while his left hand rests on a pen, symbolizing his contributions to the Church. The painting is part of the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain, and is considered a prime example of Maíno's mastery in portraiture and religious imagery. The saint's realistic depiction and the nuanced lighting add depth and emotion to the artwork, making it a compelling subject for art enthusiasts and scholars.
