Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb | Francisco de Zurbaran | 1634

Francisco de Zurbarán’s "Saint Francis of Assisi in His Tomb" (1634) is a haunting meditation on mortality and divine contemplation. Cloaked in a heavy habit and illuminated by a single, solemn light, Saint Francis stands barefoot in the shadows, cradling a skull—a stark symbol of penance and the transience of life. Through restrained composition and masterful chiaroscuro, Zurbarán transforms the figure into a vision of spiritual introspection, embodying the mystic austerity and contemplative faith of the Counter-Reformation.
