"St Leonard Freeing Prisoners," a 15th-century painting by an anonymous artist, depicts the moment Saint Leonard frees prisoners from their chains. The painting features a lively scene with multiple figures and a detailed setting. Saint Leonard is prominently featured at the center of the artwork, holding a chain in his hand, and a sleeping man in a red hat sits in the lower right corner. The figures' expressive poses and gestures convey the drama of the event, while the artist's use of color and light adds depth and realism. "St Leonard Freeing Prisoners" can be found in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt.
