"Saint Nicholas visiting the house of a poor nobleman, father of three daughters" is a notable painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Jacob Jordaens, created in the 17th century. This artwork depicts the legendary tale of Saint Nicholas, a Christian bishop who later became the inspiration for the figure of Santa Claus, providing a dowry for three impoverished sisters to save them from a life of destitution or potential exploitation.

In the painting, Jordaens vividly portrays the moment when Saint Nicholas, under the cover of night, discreetly delivers bags of gold to the household of a destitute nobleman. This act of charity is said to have occurred by dropping the gold through the chimney or an open window, where it fortuitously landed in stockings or shoes left by the fire to dry. Jordaens' composition captures the emotional gravity of the scene, highlighting the contrast between the saint's quiet generosity and the family's dire circumstances.

Jacob Jordaens (1593–1678), a contemporary of Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, was a prominent figure in the Antwerp school and is renowned for his dynamic use of color and light, as well as his ability to convey narrative and emotion in his works. "Saint Nicholas visiting the house of a poor nobleman, father of three daughters" is exemplary of Jordaens' skill in storytelling through art and serves as an important piece within his oeuvre, reflecting both his artistic prowess and the cultural-religious milieu of the time.

The painting not only offers insight into the charitable legend of Saint Nicholas but also serves as a reflection of the social values and religious beliefs of the 17th-century Southern Netherlands. It remains an important work for the study of Baroque art and the cultural history of Europe, as it encapsulates the era's artistic, social, and religious dynamics. The piece is held in high regard by art historians and is frequently studied for its stylistic elements and thematic content, contributing to the understanding of Jordaens' artistic contributions and the broader context of European art history.
