"El Salvador" is a 16th-century oil painting by Vicente Juan Masip, depicting Jesus Christ holding the host and chalice of the Eucharist. The painting is a devotional image, likely intended for private worship, and highlights the central role of the Eucharist in Catholic faith. The artist uses a restrained palette with a focus on naturalistic detail, characteristic of Spanish Renaissance painting. The work is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.
