"San Hugo en el Refectorio de los Cartujos" (Saint Hugh in the Carthusian Refectory) is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán. Created in 1630-1635, this work exemplifies Zurbarán's mastery in depicting religious figures with a stark realism and a profound sense of piety. The painting is housed in the Museo de Bellas Artes de Sevilla, in Seville, Spain.

The painting portrays Saint Hugh of Grenoble, a 12th-century bishop known for his role in the founding of the Carthusian Order, in a moment of divine interaction within the refectory, or dining hall, of a Carthusian monastery. Zurbarán's depiction is characterized by his use of chiaroscuro, the dramatic contrast between light and dark, to highlight the saint's spiritual presence among the monks. The composition is marked by a strong sense of stillness and contemplation, a hallmark of Zurbarán's religious works.

In "San Hugo en el Refectorio de los Cartujos," the saint is shown standing at the end of a long table, where a miracle is taking place. According to the legend, an angel is seen serving Saint Hugh with a pilaster, symbolizing the support he provided to the Carthusian Order. The monks seated at the table are portrayed in various states of amazement and reverence, their expressions and postures reflecting the solemnity of the event.

Zurbarán's attention to detail is evident in the realistic depiction of the textures of the monks' habits, the tableware, and the architectural elements of the refectory. The painting's austere palette, dominated by the whites of the Carthusian habits and the muted tones of the surroundings, reinforces the ascetic lifestyle of the order and the spiritual purity of the scene.

"San Hugo en el Refectorio de los Cartujos" is considered one of Zurbarán's most significant works, showcasing his ability to convey religious narratives with emotional depth and a sense of immediacy. It remains an important example of Spanish Golden Age art and a testament to Zurbarán's enduring legacy as a painter of religious subjects.
