Un boig estén la capa perquè hi passi per sobre sant Francesc nen is a 1730 oil by Antoni Viladomat i Manalt, a Rococo painting work, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a lively scene of people gathered in a city square. A man in a yellow shirt and green pants is shown running with a red cloth, while another man in a red coat and hat stands nearby, holding a book. In the background, several other figures are visible, including children and a dog. The scene is set against a backdrop of buildings and a cloudy sky, with a sense of energy and movement conveyed through the brushstrokes and composition. The use of color and light adds depth and texture to the painting, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figures. To learn more about the artist's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that uses strong contrasts of light and dark to create a sense of volume and depth, look up Antoni Viladomat i Manalt.
