Bartolomé Esteban Murillo's *San Salvador de Horta, and Inquisitor of Aragon* (178 x 190 cm) is a Baroque painting that depicts a scene from the life of the Spanish saint San Salvador de Horta. The painting showcases Murillo's characteristic use of rich colors and dramatic chiaroscuro to create a sense of depth and emotion. The central figure, San Salvador de Horta, is kneeling in prayer while the Inquisitor of Aragon stands behind him. The figures are surrounded by a crowd of people, who are likely witnesses to the saint's piety and devotion. This scene is a testament to the power of faith and the importance of religious figures in Spanish culture. The painting is currently located in the Musée Bonnat in Bayonne, France.
