"Santa Casilda" is an oil on canvas painting by Spanish artist José Garnelo. The painting depicts Santa Casilda, a 12th-century Spanish noblewoman, distributing food to the poor. Casilda, draped in a red cloak, is depicted in a dramatic pose, her hands outstretched toward the two kneeling figures below her. Garnelo's masterful use of light and shadow brings the scene to life, highlighting the contrast between the opulent clothing of the saint and the poverty of the recipients. This painting showcases Garnelo's skill in capturing the drama and spirituality of religious narratives.
