"Saint Francis" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque painter Francisco de Zurbarán, created in the 17th century. This work is one of several representations of Saint Francis of Assisi by Zurbarán, who was renowned for his religious compositions and skilled use of chiaroscuro. The painting depicts the saint in a moment of contemplative prayer or ecstasy, a common theme in Zurbarán's religious works.

In "Saint Francis," the figure is typically shown in the austere habit of the Franciscan order, with a skull and other symbolic objects that may reference the transience of life and the saint's meditations on mortality and the afterlife. The painting is characterized by its dramatic lighting, with sharp contrasts between light and dark areas, which serve to highlight the spiritual intensity and emotional depth of the subject. Zurbarán's meticulous attention to the textures of fabric and the saint's features further enhances the painting's devotional impact.

Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664) was a contemporary of Diego Velázquez and a master of the Spanish Golden Age of painting. His works were highly sought after, particularly by religious institutions, for their ability to inspire piety and devotion through their realism and emotional resonance. "Saint Francis" exemplifies Zurbarán's skill in creating powerful religious imagery and contributes to his reputation as one of the leading figures in Spanish Baroque art.

The exact date of this particular "Saint Francis" painting is uncertain, as Zurbarán produced numerous versions of this subject throughout his career. However, many of his paintings of Saint Francis date from the 1630s to the 1640s. The location of this specific work may vary, as Zurbarán's paintings of Saint Francis are held in various museums and private collections around the world. Each version of "Saint Francis" by Zurbarán is distinguished by subtle variations in composition, lighting, and detail, reflecting the artist's ongoing engagement with the theme of religious devotion and asceticism.

As with many old master paintings, the provenance and historical context of "Saint Francis" can provide insight into the cultural and artistic milieu in which Zurbarán worked. His paintings of Saint Francis are often seen as expressions of the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on personal piety and the veneration of saints, as well as the broader spiritual concerns of 17th-century Spain.
