Francisco de Zurbarán Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Flower painter, Still life painter, b. 1598 - d. 1664

(b Fuente de Cantos, Spain, 1598; d Madrid, 1664) Spanish painter. One of the greatest masters of the Sevillian School, Francisco de Zurbarán is best known for his often startlingly powerful and realistic expression of religious subject matter and his influential but much rarer treatment of still life. After training in the studio of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva in Seville, Zurbarán left the city but was back in 1626 to work on a series of paintings for the Monastery of San Pablo El Real. From this commission comes his first known dated painting, a Crucifixion of 1627 (Chicago, Art Institute), that exhibits a strikingly Caravaggesque realism in the rendition of the figure; the work brought him immediate fame and led to numerous commissions from religious orders.
As Spain experienced years of great financial difficulty in the decade 1640-50, there were fewer artistic commissions. From this period, Zurbarán's style gradually changed to incorporate a more diffuse effect of light with a paler palette and less chiaroscuro.

    A follower of FRANCISCO DE ZURBARÁN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 – Madrid, 1664); 18th century. “Saint Bruno,” Oil on canvas mounted on panel. It has been restored. It has a 19th-century frame. Measurements: 75 x 53 cm; 80 x 58 cm (frame). This depiction of Saint Bruno, founder of the Carthusian Order, shows the saint clad in the congregation’s characteristic white habit, holding a cross and gazing upward in an attitude of deep spiritual contemplation. At his feet lies the globe, a symbol of the rejection of worldly goods and the renunciation of earthly vanities, one of the fundamental principles of Carthusian life. The work shows a clear dependence on the models created by Francisco de Zurbarán, especially in the treatment of the white habit, whose striking volumetric presence stands out against a neutral, dark background. The intense contrast of light, a legacy of Baroque tenebrism, lends monumentality to the figure and shapes the folds of the fabric with a remarkable sculptural quality. Likewise, the face and hands are rendered with marked naturalism, a characteristic feature of Spanish devotional painting of the Golden Age. Although painted in the 18th century, the work retains the sobriety, contemplation, and spiritual strength characteristic of the Zurbaranesque tradition. The compositional austerity, the limited color palette, and the focus on the figure of the saint reinforce the meditative character of the image, conceived to inspire the viewer’s devotion and religious reflection. It has been restored.

    Circle of FRANCISCO DE ZURBARÁN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 – Madrid, 1664). “Mercedarian Friar”. Oil on canvas. Relined. Needs cleaning. Shows repainting in non-prominent areas of the work. Measurements: 176 x 101.5 cm, 188.5 x 114 cm (frame). The work depicts a full-length portrait of a member of the Order of Mercy, set against a neutral, dark background that draws all attention to the figure. The friar is dressed in the order’s white habit, holding a closed book in one hand and a long staff in the other. The composition is characterized by its sobriety, the monumentality of the figure, and the careful rendering of the folds of the habit, which take on great visual prominence through an elaborate interplay of light and shadow. The austere setting and the absence of narrative elements enhance the contemplative and devotional nature of the image. The painting belongs to a genre that was widespread in 17th-century Spain, particularly in Andalusia, where religious orders played a fundamental role in the spiritual, cultural, and charitable life of society. These types of portraits or effigies of saints and religious figures were intended for convents, monasteries, and the premises of the orders themselves, although they could also be included in private collections of individuals linked to them through patronage, devotion, or membership in religious brotherhoods. The work’s close relationship with the artistic language of Francisco de Zurbarán is evident. The Extremaduran master created some of the most celebrated depictions of Mercedarian, Carthusian, Hieronymite, and Franciscan monks, transforming the simplicity of their habits into true exercises in pictorial virtuosity. The monumentality of the isolated figure, the dark background, the intense sense of physical presence, and the sculptural treatment of the drapery are characteristic features of his work and that of his circle. This type of painting was primarily intended for convents, monasteries, and the premises of religious orders, where it served to exalt the memory of saints, founders, and exemplary members of the community. However, during the 17th century there was also significant demand from the nobility, high-ranking officials, wealthy merchants, and affluent sectors of the urban bourgeoisie, who acquired images of saints associated with specific orders as an expression of personal devotion, social prestige, or patronage ties with religious institutions. In a society deeply marked by the ideals of the Counter-Reformation, these paintings were not considered mere decorative objects, but rather instruments of meditation and affirmation of the faith, and thus occupied a prominent place in convent spaces as well as in oratories and private collections. The influence of Zurbarán and his circle also contributed to these austere and monumental representations enjoying great prestige among collectors of the time. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a pupil of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period, he had the opportunity to meet Pachecho and Herrera, and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, who, like him, were apprentices in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse training, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without taking the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, a city where he received commissions from both the municipality and various convents and churches in Extremadura. In 1629, following an unusual proposal by the City Council, Zurbarán settled permanently in Seville, marking the beginning of the most prestigious decade of his career. He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1934—perhaps at Velázquez’s suggestion—to participate in the decoration of the Great Hall of the Buen Retiro. Upon his return to Seville, Zurbarán continued to work for the court and for various monastic orders. In 1958, likely driven by the difficulties of the Sevillian art market, he moved to Madrid. During this final period of his career, he produced small-format devotional paintings of refined execution. Zurbarán was a painter of simple realism, excluding grandiloquence and theatricality from his work; we can even find a certain awkwardness in his handling of the technical challenges of geometric perspective, despite the perfection of his drawing in anatomies, faces, and objects. His austere, rigorously ordered compositions achieve an exceptional level of pious emotion. As for tenebrism, the painter employed it primarily during his early Sevillian period. No one surpasses him in his ability to express the tenderness and innocence of children, young virgins, and adolescent saints. His exceptional technique also allowed him to render the tactile qualities of fabrics and objects, making him an exceptional still-life painter. Relined. Needs cleaning. Shows signs of repainting in non-prominent areas of the building.

    Est: €4,000 - €6,000

    Francisco de Zurbarán (Fuente de Cantos 1598 - Madrid 1664) bottega di San Francesco Olio su tela 94,5 x 77 cm Provenienza: Collezione privata di New York; Deposito temporaneo presso il Museum of Fine Arts di Boston (vedi etichetta al retro applicata sul telaio); Collezione privata italiana. L'opera è firmata FRAN. DE ZUBA/FACIEBAT in basso a sinistra. L'opera fu esposta in occasione della mostra Da Tiziano a Van Dyck. Nel catalogo della mostra il dipinto fu schedato dal dottor Alejandro del Pozo Maté, opera n. 46 alle pagg. 170 e 171, come Francisco de Zurbarán. Scrive lo studioso: "il dipinto fa vedere l'abisso tra Zurbarán e i suoi contemporanei spagnoli per quanto riguarda l'uso di colori puliti e differenziati così come nella pennellata, solida e nitida. La firma "FRAN. DE ZUBA/FACIEBAT" è abituale nella sua produzione dagli anni '30. La presenza di essa ci induce a pensare alla partecipazione della bottega. La firma aveva la probabile funzione di marchio di autenticità per un'adeguata distribuzione mercantile delle opere. Sulla base dell'intervento di collaboratori, oltre che per il gusto murrilesco, probabilmente quest'opera fu eseguita a Siviglia poco prima del secondo e definitivo viaggio a Madrid del 1658". Francisco de Zurbarán (Fuente de Cantos 1598 - Madrid 1664) workshop of Saint Francis Oil on canvas 94,5 × 77 cm Provenance: Private collection, New York; Temporary loan at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (see label on the reverse applied to the stretcher); Italian private collection. The work is signed FRAN. DE ZUBA / FACIEBAT in the lower left corner. The painting was exhibited at the show From Titian to Van Dyck. In the exhibition catalogue, it was listed by Dr Alejandro del Pozo Maté as work no. 46, on pages 170 - 171, under the attribution to Francisco de Zurbarán. The scholar writes: "The painting reveals the abyss separating Zurbarán from his Spanish contemporaries in the use of clean and differentiated colours, as well as in the brushwork, solid and sharp. The signature "FRAN. DE ZUBA / FACIEBAT" is customary in his production from the 1630s onward. Its presence leads us to consider participation in the workshop. The signature likely served as a mark of authenticity to ensure proper commercial distribution of the works. Based on the intervention of collaborators, and also on the Murrillesque taste, this painting was probably executed in Seville shortly before the artist’s second and final journey to Madrid in 1658".

    Workshop of FRANCISCO ZURBARÁN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 - Madrid, 1664). El Niño de la espina" ("Child with the Thorn"). Oil on canvas. Relined. It presents repainting and restorations on the pictorial surface. It has a 20th century frame. Measurements: 132 x 178 cm; 159 x 205 cm (frame). Due to its stylistic characteristics, this canvas can be inscribed within the aesthetic patterns defined by the master Zurbarán, and more specifically those corresponding to his workshop. This work precisely follows the iconographic model of the "Child with the Thorn" already used by Francisco de Zurbarán, following a composition similar to other works of the same subject matter from the same period. Thus, we see a rosy-cheeked Christ Child, gazing attentively at his hands, particularly one of his fingers, from which a fine trickle of blood runs down onto the crown of thorns, alluding to the Passion. The conception of the Child is very similar to that seen in the work by Zurbarán in the collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville. However, in this case the scene is enlarged to include a woman of monumental dimensions on the right. Her features and her needlework indicate that this is the image of the Virgin Mary, who, oblivious to the viewer, is concentrating on her work, paying no attention to her son. This manner in which the artist presents the figures invites the viewer to empathise with the divinity, as she appears before him in a friendly, everyday manner, dramatic only in the lighting and not in her subject matter. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a pupil of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he had the opportunity to meet Pachecho and Herrera and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like himself in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse apprenticeship, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without undergoing the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, where he received commissions both from the municipality and from various convents and churches in Extremadura. In 1629, at the unusual suggestion of the Municipal Council, Zurbarán settled permanently in Seville, marking the beginning of the most prestigious decade of his career. He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1934, perhaps at Velázquez's suggestion, to take part in the decoration of the great hall of the Buen Retiro. On returning to Seville, Zurbarán continued to work for the court and for various monastic orders. In 1958, probably prompted by the difficulties of the Sevillian market, he moved to Madrid. During this last period of his output he produced small-format private devotional canvases of refined execution. Zurbarán was a painter of simple realism, excluding grandiloquence and theatricality from his work, and we can even find some clumsiness when solving the technical problems of geometric perspective, despite the perfection of his drawing of anatomies, faces and objects. His severe, rigorously ordered compositions reach an exceptional level of pious emotion. With regard to tenebrism, the painter practised it above all in his early Sevillian period. No one surpasses him in his way of expressing the tenderness and candour of children, young virgins and adolescent saints. His exceptional technique also enabled him to depict the tactile values of canvases and objects, making him an exceptional still life painter. His sobriety, expressive power and the plasticity of his figures, added to his obvious gifts as a colourist, place him at the top of the Spanish masters of the Golden Age.

    FRANCISCO DE ZURBARÁN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 - Madrid, 1664). "St. Joseph with the Child Jesus in his arms", ca. 1650-1660. Oil on canvas. Antique relined. In very good condition, with restorations. Attached is a recent study issued by Odile Delenda, expert and author of the catalog raisonné of the work of Francisco Zurbarán, which indicates that she will include the work in the Supplement to her Catalogue raisonné and critic of Francisco de Zurbarán in preparation. High quality frame simulating tortoiseshell, 17th century. Bibliography consulted: "Analysis and study of a canvas of St. Joseph with the Child Jesus in his arms unpublished by Odile Delenda". Measurements: 191 x 114 cm; 240 x 169 cm (frame). In her detailed study Odile Delenda affirms that, although the unpublished work "Saint Joseph with the Child Jesus in his arms" responds to one of the usual iconographic types in Baroque art, it is an unusual representation in the work of the master Francisco Zurbarán. He continues: "Its very peculiar and premonitory iconography, which deals with the real role of the holy earthly father of Christ in the Catholic Church [...], is very striking. In this canvas we are studying, Mary's husband, a magnificent adult male, in the years of full possession of his physical and intellectual strength, appears standing, young and beautiful, in front of a very dark background, holding up the flowered rod of lilies that is his classic iconographic attribute, as a symbol of his purity. His face is very similar to those of Christ when painted by Zurbarán himself in his paintings. Thus we can recognize in this beautiful representation of St. Joseph, the slightly slanted eyes with his self-absorbed expression and the oval face of Jesus in the painting of the master from Extremadura "Christ crowning St. Joseph" (Seville, Museo de Bellas Artes). The saint of the presently studied canvas delicately carries, between his closed arms, an almost naked infant figure of the Child Jesus, Savior of the World with his sacrifice. Through this beautiful unpublished figure, we get a glimpse of a personality of great mystical depth". As in several of Zurbarán's works, a significant column crosses the painting behind the figures and in front of the background. It has a helical shape, something never seen before in Zurbarán's painting. Delenda also highlights the tiny scene that the master (or a pupil of his workshop) immortalizes in the background, showing the Miracle of the Palm Tree during the flight of the Holy Family to Egypt. Among other important and interesting contributions, the Zurbarán expert states "We can compare some details of the painting with autograph figures by Zurbarán himself. For example, the way of painting the flowers of the flowered cane can be compared with those of the vase of the "Child of the Thorn" in the Museum of Fine Arts in Seville (dated between 1645-1650) or the vase of "The Virgin of the Annunciation", 1658-1660, which belongs to a private collection. Similarly, the perfect globe of the world of solid glass that Jesus carries in his right hand can be compared by its technique to the transparent water glass of the "Child of the Thorn". He concludes "This large unpublished canvas is impressive and shows the evolution of the mature painter's abilities towards the modern demands of his religious patrons. The painting is moving because of the very simplicity of the figure, its profound mystical expression and the affirmation of the pose shows a new grace. His technique seems looser than in his youth, but his brushstroke remains sure". Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a disciple of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he would have the opportunity to meet Pacheco and Herrera, and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like him in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse apprenticeship, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without undergoing the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, a city where he received commissions both from the municipality and from various convents and churches in Extremadura. In 1629, by unusual proposal of the Municipal Council, Zurbarán settled definitively in Seville, beginning the most prestigious decade of his career. He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1634, perhaps at the suggestion of Velázquez, to participate in the decoration of the great hall of the Buen Retiro. Back in Seville, Zurbarán continued to work for the court and for various monastic orders. In 1658, probably moved by the difficulties of the Sevillian market, he moved to Madrid.

    FRANCISCO ZURBARÁN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 - Madrid, 1664). "Santa Faz". Oil on canvas. Attribution confirmed by Doña Odile Delenda. Preserves original canvas. It has restorations on the pictorial surface. Measurements: 102 x 80 cm; 122 x 102 cm (frame). The theme of the Santa Faz, was retaken by Francisco Zurbarán at a time when the works with this theme were no longer common. In this devotional image painted in oil on canvas, the image of Christ's face is represented, which seems to be printed on the canvas of the Veronica. Jesus wears the crown of thorns, and shows the blood stains that show suffering or exhaustion. Looking directly at the viewer with a serious and emphatic gesture, but at the same time serene and calm, the image thus reflects Christ as savior and redeemer. The iconography of the Holy Face has its origin in the episode that occurred during the Passion of Christ, when on the way to Calvary a woman took off her veil to wipe the face of the Messiah with it. The image of the face of Jesus Christ was imprinted on the linen handkerchief, and it was miraculously preserved through the centuries, becoming an object of worship. The woman would later be called Veronica, whose etymology derives from the Latin "verum" (true) and the Greek "eikon" (image). The Santa Faz is one of the most famous relics of Christianity, first described in 1137. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a disciple of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he would have the opportunity to meet Pachecho and Herrera, and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like him in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse apprenticeship, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without undergoing the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, a city where he received commissions both from the municipality and from various convents and churches in Extremadura. In 1629, by unusual proposal of the Municipal Council, Zurbarán settled definitively in Seville, beginning the most prestigious decade of his career. He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1934, perhaps at the suggestion of Velázquez, to participate in the decoration of the great hall of the Buen Retiro. Back in Seville, Zurbarán continued to work for the court and for various monastic orders. In 1958, probably moved by the difficulties of the Sevillian market, he moved to Madrid. During this last period of his production, he painted canvases of private devotion of small format and refined execution. Zurbarán was a painter of simple realism, excluding grandiloquence and theatricality from his work, and we can even find some clumsiness when solving the technical problems of geometric perspective, despite the perfection of his drawing in anatomies, faces and objects. His severe compositions, rigorously ordered, reach an exceptional level of pious emotion. With respect to tenebrism, the painter practiced it especially in his first Sevillian period.

Re-drawn at the end of the 18th century. Size: 111 x 85 cm; 120 x 93 cm (frame). The wake of the Marian painting of Zurbarán is manifested in this work of Christ as "Salvator Mundi", an iconography that represents the Christological concept of Jesus Christ as universal saviour, in relation to his role as judge in the Final Judgement and to his character of Redeemer. The monumental canon of the Virgin and child, their sculptural presence, has been achieved through subtle light modelling. The melancholic tenderness of the faces and the way in which the figures emerge emphatically from a misty background reveal the influence of Zurbarán. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a pupil of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he had the opportunity to meet Pachecho and Herrera and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like himself in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse apprenticeship, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without undergoing the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, where he received commissions both from the municipality and from various convents and churches in Extremadura.

He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1934, perhaps at Velázquez's suggestion, to take part in the decoration of the great hall of the Buen Retiro.

His severe, rigorously ordered compositions reach an exceptional level of pious emotion. With regard to tenebrism, the painter practised it above all in his early Sevillian period. No one surpasses him in his way of expressing the tenderness and candour of children, young virgins and adolescent saints. His exceptional technique also enabled him to depict the tactile values of canvases and objects, making him an exceptional still life painter.

    School of FRANCISCO de ZURBARÁN (1598 - 1664). "Virgin praying". Oil on canvas. Relined. Measurements: 97 x 77 cm; 112 x 92 cm (frame). Intimate image of the Virgin, withdrawn in prayerful attitude. The strong tenebrist contrasts are placed at the disposal of this silent maternal sorrow, focusing the attention on the face with delicate features and half-closed eyelids, as well as on the hands joined in prayer. The robe is bathed in a chiaroscuro that brings out subtle emerald lights, with a velvet quality, and veering towards black at the edges to merge with the neutral background. The trail of Zurbarán's Marian painting is evident in this Virgin praying. The monumental canon of the Virgin, her sculptural presence, has been achieved through the subtle modelling of light. The melancholic tenderness of the face and the way in which the figures emerge roundly from a dark background are evidence of Zurbarán's school. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a pupil of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he had the opportunity to meet Pacheco and Herrera and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like himself in Seville at the time.

    Francisco de Zurbarán (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598-Madrid, 1664). The Holy Face. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated 1639. Certificate from Enrique Valdivieso is attached. Relining. 100 x 82 cm. The theme of the Holy Face or the cloth of Veronica is one of the most repeated iconographies in Zurbarán's production. The theme reached a special devotion that was very widespread in 17th century Spain for showing the proximity of a moment of the Passion, a motif and an ideal size for oratories and chapels that brought the face of Christ closer to the faithful. In the center the head of Christ with a crown of thorns is represented, alluding to the face of Jesus when on his way to Calvary, a woman wiped her face with the veil that covered her head. This episode, despite representing one of the Stations of the Via Crucis, is not found in the canonical Gospels. The oldest quotation dates from the second century, in the apocryphal Gospel of Nicodemus. According to professor Enrique Valdivieso "We are facing one of the different versions that Zurbarán made on the iconography of the Holy Face" There are currently a dozen cataloged copies of this work. Valdivieso insists on the dating between 1630-1640 especially because of the identical repetition of the cloths. "Very important are also the games of light and shadow that create the folds of the cloth and that originate an effect of powerful relief and volumetry at the same time as the sensation of contemplating something real". This work is the most similar to the one kept in the National Museum in Stockholm. The composition of the painting is overwhelming both for its realism and for its strong drama. As the specialist in the work of the Extremaduran painter Odile Delenda points out "The pleasure in representing Veronica's veil with this accentuated realistic character, like a trompe l'oeil, is resolved in these paintings by the Extremaduran master through the illusion of the frame, being the only link with the outside world fine double cords from which a knotted cloth hangs in a neutral and undefined space. A long shiny pin gathers the cloth in the center, creating a totally illusionistic "frame in frame". The presentation of the canvas is a painter's own invention, of which we do not know other examples in seventeenth-century painting. " We owe to the great Zurbaranista María Luisa Caturla the interesting and perfect definition of the Holy Face of Zurbarán as «trompe-l'œil a lo divino». Caturla studied this theme in the Extremadura's work, considering it, with good reason, a kind of religious trompe l'oeil. This painting will be included by Delenda in the Supplement to the reasoned and critical catalog of Francisco de Zurbarán, currently in preparation.

    Workshop of FRANCISCO ZURBARAN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 – Madrid, 1664). "The Child of the Thorn".

    Est: €25,000 - €30,000

    Workshop of FRANCISCO ZURBARAN (Fuente de Cantos, Badajoz, 1598 - Madrid, 1664). El Niño de la espina" ("Child with the Thorn"). Oil on canvas. Re-retouched. It presents repainting and restorations on the pictorial surface. It has a 20th century frame. Measurements: 132 x 178 cm; 159 x 205 cm (frame). Due to its stylistic characteristics, this canvas can be inscribed within the aesthetic patterns defined by the master Zurbarán, and more specifically those corresponding to his workshop. This work precisely follows the iconographic model of the "Child with the Thorn" already used by Francisco de Zurbarán, following a composition similar to other works of the same subject matter from the same period. Thus, we see a rosy-cheeked Christ Child, gazing attentively at his hands, particularly one of his fingers, from which a fine trickle of blood runs down onto the crown of thorns, alluding to the Passion. The conception of the Child is very similar to that seen in the work by Zurbarán in the collection of the Museo de Bellas Artes in Seville. However, in this case the scene is enlarged to include a woman of monumental dimensions on the right. Her features and her needlework indicate that this is the image of the Virgin Mary, who, oblivious to the viewer, is concentrating on her work, paying no attention to her son. This manner in which the artist presents the figures invites the viewer to empathise with the divinity, as she appears before him in a friendly, everyday manner, dramatic only in the lighting and not in her subject matter. Francisco de Zurbarán trained in Seville, where he was a pupil of Pedro Díaz de Villanueva between 1614 and 1617. During this period he had the opportunity to meet Pachecho and Herrera and to establish contacts with his contemporaries Velázquez and Cano, apprentices like himself in Seville at the time. After several years of diverse apprenticeship, Zurbarán returned to Badajoz without undergoing the Sevillian guild examination. He settled in Llerena between 1617 and 1628, where he received commissions both from the municipality and from various convents and churches in Extremadura. In 1629, at the unusual suggestion of the Municipal Council, Zurbarán settled permanently in Seville, marking the beginning of the most prestigious decade of his career. He received commissions from all the religious orders present in Andalusia and Extremadura, and was finally invited to the court in 1934, perhaps at Velázquez's suggestion, to take part in the decoration of the great hall of the Buen Retiro. On returning to Seville, Zurbarán continued to work for the court and for various monastic orders. In 1958, probably prompted by the difficulties of the Sevillian market, he moved to Madrid. During this last period of his output he produced small-format private devotional canvases of refined execution. Zurbarán was a painter of simple realism, excluding grandiloquence and theatricality from his work, and we can even find some clumsiness when solving the technical problems of geometric perspective, despite the perfection of his drawing of anatomies, faces and objects. His severe, rigorously ordered compositions reach an exceptional level of pious emotion. With regard to tenebrism, the painter practised it above all in his early Sevillian period. No one surpasses him in his way of expressing the tenderness and candour of children, young virgins and adolescent saints. His exceptional technique also enabled him to depict the tactile values of canvases and objects, making him an exceptional still life painter. His sobriety, expressive power and the plasticity of his figures, added to his obvious gifts as a colourist, place him at the top of the Spanish masters of the Golden Age.
