"St. Augustine, St. John the Baptist and St. Paul the Hermit" is a Baroque painting by Italian artist Guercino, known for his dramatic use of light and shadow. The painting features three prominent figures in Christian history: St. Augustine, a philosopher and theologian, St. John the Baptist, a prophet, and St. Paul the Hermit, a revered figure of early Christian monasticism. The three saints are depicted in a natural setting, possibly a cave or a forest, with a winged angel above them. The painting showcases Guercino's mastery of depicting human emotions through expressive poses and gestures, characteristic of his artistic style. This powerful and dramatic piece resides in the Basilica of Sant'Agostino in Rome.
