Francisco de Zurbarán (1598 – 1664) Spanish baroque painter. He painted profound spiritual content, his works almost in totality were of a religious nature. Zurbarán's mastery stands out also in some of his portrait works and his still life which he painted with extreme sensibilty. [1]
Zurbarán adopted Caravaggio's realistic use of chiaroscuro and the severe compositions of Juan Sánchez Cotán. He started painting in the city of Seville, Spain, when he was 15 years old .
