Apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernard is an oil painting on panel by the Italian Renaissance painter Filippino Lippi, completed around 1485–1487.

The picture was commissioned for the chapel of Francesco del Pugliese by the latter's son Piero, who is portrayed in the lower right corner in the traditional praying posture of the donor portrait.

It is one of the most admired Lippi's works,[2] noted for its powerful, Flemish-inspired chromatism and attention to details, which contribute in turning the mystical apparition of the Virgin to St. Bernard into an everyday life scene.

The composition is set in a rocky landscape in which the saint, while writing on his lectern, is suddenly visited by the Virgin.

A scroll on a rock contains a verse by the 3rd century AD stoic writer Epictetus: Sustine et abstine ("Carry on and abstain"), a hint to Bernard's teachings.
