Saint Margaret of Antioch (c. 1630-1634)
by Francisco de Zurbaran
The portrait showcases Zurbarán’s signature tenebrism, using strong chiaroscuro to pop the vibrant blues, reds, and crisp white lace cuffs against a shadowy, dark background. The crisp folds and rich textures highlight his mastery in rendering fabric and still-life elements.
