Enter the spellbinding world of Zurbarán | National Gallery

Get to know Francisco de Zurbarán, one of Baroque Spain's greatest artists, known for his stunning paintings of religious devotion and spiritual wonder. Working in Seville, then one of Europe’s richest cities, he made artworks for some of the country’s most important people and places. His use of intense, dramatic lighting, his ability to bring stillness to life and give a sense of reality to objects, fabrics and faces was irresistible.
