"The Appearance of the Virgen del Pilar to Saint James" is a renowned painting by Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, a preeminent Spanish artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. This artwork, created in 1775, is a significant piece as it depicts a pivotal moment in Spanish religious folklore: the apparition of the Virgin Mary to Saint James the Greater. According to legend, the Virgin Mary appeared to Saint James on the bank of the Ebro River in Zaragoza, Spain, standing on a pillar, which is symbolically represented in Goya's painting. This event is considered the foundational legend of the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar in Zaragoza, one of Spain's major pilgrimage sites.

Goya's portrayal is noted for its dynamic composition and emotional intensity, characteristics that foreshadow his later works. The painting showcases his skill in handling both religious and cultural themes, making it a critical piece for understanding his early artistic development and his contributions to Spanish art. The work is housed in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, serving not only as a piece of religious devotion but also as a testament to Goya's early promise and his deep connection to Spanish cultural and spiritual life.
