St. Martin and the Beggar is a 1496 unspecified by Unknown, a Early Renaissance work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting depicts a scene of St. Martin on horseback, dressed in a red cape and green tunic, with a sword at his side. He is shown cutting his cloak to give half to a beggar kneeling before him. The background features a landscape with trees, hills, and buildings. The artist's use of color and composition draws attention to the central figures, creating a sense of drama and tension in the scene. The contrast between the richly dressed St. Martin and the impoverished beggar highlights the themes of charity and compassion.
