The Vision of Saint Bernard is a 1520 oil by Domenico Puligo, a Mannerism work, held at Walters Art Museum.
This painting depicts a serene scene with three figures. On the left, a woman in a red top and blue skirt stands beside an angel in an orange robe, who has large wings. The woman and angel are positioned near a table. To the right, a man in a white robe sits on a bench, gazing at the woman. The background features rolling hills, trees, and a castle. In the distance, several people and animals are visible, adding depth to the scene. The overall atmosphere is one of calmness and contemplation.
