Saint Germanus of Auxerre is a 1629 oil by Philippe de Champaigne, a French Classical Baroque work, held at Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
This painting shows a man in a long, ornate robe and hat, holding a staff in his right hand. He has a long white beard and is looking up with his left hand raised. The man's robes are intricately decorated with gold patterns, and he wears a red sash over his chest. The background of the painting is dark, which helps the man stand out. The artist's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama in the painting. You might also want to look up Philippe de Champaigne.
