Francisco de Zurbarán

Francisco de Zurbaran was a Spanish Baroque painter who lived from 1598 to 1664, known primarily for religious paintings of monks, nuns and martyrs, and for still-life compositions. His forceful use of chiaroscuro, sharply contrasting light and shadow, earned him the nickname the Spanish Caravaggio. His son Juan de Zurbaran also became a painter.
