Saint Roderick is a 1646 oil by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister.
The painting depicts a man in a red robe with gold trim, holding a palm frond in his right hand and reaching out with his left. He stands in front of a stone wall with a ball on top, and a cherub with a garland of flowers flies above him. A small, framed image is visible on the man's robe, showing another figure. The background is dark, with some lighter areas that suggest a cloudy sky. This painting is characteristic of the style of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo.
Saint Roderick is a c. 1650-1655 oil on canvas painting of Saint Roderick by Murillo, now in the Gemaldegalerie Alte Meister in Dresden. He is shown vested as a priest in a chasuble (with a central motif of Saint Andrew and Saint Peter) and a maniple and holding a biretta and a martyr's palm.
