Dedicated to Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664), one of the great painters of seventeenth‑century Spain, this publication celebrates the drama and power of his distinctive body of work.
A peer of Murillo and Velázquez, Zurbarán’s innovative approach to sacred subjects imbues his works with a startling naturalism and deep emotional force. He spent most of his life in Seville, then one of the wealthiest cities in Europe. Working for monasteries, private patrons and the King of Spain, he produced striking depictions of saints and altarpieces of staggering scale and ingenuity. His still-life paintings, rich in finely observed details and charged with symbolism, remain vivid today.
Written by experts in the field and featuring exciting new discoveries, this lavishly illustrated publication explores Zurbarán’s most important commissions, from dramatic religious visions to tender domestic scenes, offering a fresh appraisal of this singularly gifted artist.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Dedicated to Francisco de Zurbaran, one of the greatest painters of seventeenth-century Spain, this publication celebrates the drama and power of his distinctive body of work Francisco de Zurbaran is, alongside Diego Velazquez and Bartolome Esteban Murillo, one of the three great painters of seventeenth-century Spain. His works are celebrated for their startling naturalism, directness, and deep emotional power. He spent most of his life in Seville, then one of the richest cities in Europe, whose maritime links to the Americas made it a hub of global trade. Although he painted mostly for the city's vast number of religious orders, he also worked for private patrons and the King of Spain, producing altarpieces and painting cycles of staggering scale and ingenuity. An acute observer of reality, his still-life paintings and works for private devotion still appear strikingly vivid today. Written by experts in the field and featuring exciting new discoveries, this beautifully illustrated publication will explore Zurbaran's most important commissions, portraits and domestic scenes, offering a fresh appraisal of this singularly gifted artist.
