This seventeenth-century Spanish Baroque painting depicts Saint Louis Bertrand (1526–1581), a Dominican friar who ministered in South America and became known as the "Apostle of the Americas." Dressed in the traditional black-and-white Dominican habit, the saint gazes upon a crucifix and rosary in his right hand while holding his primary attribute—a golden chalice containing a serpent—in his left. Executed with a rich palette and dramatic tenebrism (a striking contrast of light and shadow characteristic of the Valencian and Madrid Baroque schools), the composition showcases the influence of Roman masters Pietro da Cortona and Salvator Rosa as well as Spanish court master Juan Carreño de Miranda.
Jose Garcia Hidalgo, was a Spanish Baroque artist and treatise writer. He trained in Rome where he was influenced by Pietro da Cortona (1596-1669) and Salvator Rosa (1615-1673). He returned to Spain around 1670 and became a member of Juan Carreno de Miranda workshop in Madrid. In 1703 he became an honorary painter to Felipe V, and ran a drawing academy until his death. His paintings demonstrate many of the hallmarks of the Baroque period including the tenebrism of the Valencian school. Twenty of his works are held at the Museo del Prado including his portrait of Maria Luisa de Orleans, Queen Consort of Carlos II (ca. 1679), one of the few royally commissioned paintings together with that of Felipe V.
