"One of the real highlights of the exhibition will be the opportunity to see two newly discovered paintings. These freshly attributed pictures, including Alcarraza on a Plate, individually depict ceramic objects that feature together in one of the Spaniard's great paintings, the Still Life with Four Vessels."
"Zurbarán's precision and poise appear not just in the intimate still-lifes but in the religious paintings for which he was much in demand during his lifetime. There is that same kind of quality of attention."
Francisco de Zurbarán, known for his contemplative saint portraits, has a broader artistic range showcased in a new exhibition at the National Gallery in London. The exhibition features intimate still-lifes, late works with softer techniques, and large multi-painting projects for religious groups. Notable highlights include two newly discovered paintings that illustrate his detailed studies. The curator emphasizes that Zurbarán's precision is evident not only in still-lifes but also in the religious paintings that made him popular during his lifetime.
