Saint Dominic de Guzmán | Patron of the Dominican Order & Preachers #3845136 (License: Personal Use)

This stylized religious icon portrays St. Dominic de Guzmán in traditional Dominican habit, crowned by a radiant golden halo with a star at its center. He stands solemnly, clutching a flowering white lily, an aged manuscript, a wooden rosary, and a tall staff topped with a crucifix; at his feet, a light-colored dog holds a flaming torch in its mouth-a reference to the Latin pun *Domini canis* (“Hound of the Lord”). The composition evokes medieval hagiographic art while using modern illustrative techniques.
