Saint Paul is a 1610-1614 painting by El Greco, now in the Museo del Prado in Madrid.[1] The painting is key to Gregorio Marañón's theory that the painter used mental patients at the Hospital del Nuncio as models.

Saint Paul
Artist	El Greco
Year	1610-1614
Medium	oil on canvas
Dimensions	72 cm × 55 cm (28 in × 22 in)
Location	Prado, Madrid

It originally formed part of a series of works produced by the artist for the parish church in Almadrones, Spain, a series which represented a set of variants on a set of paintings of the apostles for Toledo Cathedral. Although not one of the twelve original apostles, Saint Paul, the "Apostle of the Gentiles", replaced the disgraced Judas in both series.

The letter in his left hand is addressed to "Titus, ordained first Bishop of the Church of the Cretans", who was at one time Saint Paul's secretary.
