Saint Vincent Ferrer is a 1540 oil by Juan de Juanes, a Mannerism work, depicting Saint Dominic, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
This painting depicts a man dressed in a black robe with a white shirt underneath, holding a red book in his right hand. He has a serious expression and is pointing upwards with his left hand. A long white ribbon with black text is draped around him, adding a sense of drama to the scene. The background of the painting is a cloudy sky with a landscape visible below, suggesting that the man is standing outdoors. The overall mood of the painting is one of contemplation and seriousness, with the man's expression and posture conveying a sense of deep thought. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's face and hands.
