"Saint Dorothy, Full-length, Holding a Basket of Apples and Roses" is a notable work by the Spanish Baroque painter Francisco de Zurbarán, created in the 17th century. This painting is a representation of Saint Dorothy of Caesarea, a Christian martyr from the early 4th century, who is venerated in the Catholic and Eastern Orthodox churches. Zurbarán, known for his religious works and still lifes, often depicted saints and used dramatic contrasts of light and shadow to emphasize their spiritual qualities.

The painting portrays Saint Dorothy standing in full length, which is somewhat unusual for Zurbarán's typically more austere and close-up depictions of saints. She is shown in a serene pose, holding a basket filled with apples and roses. The inclusion of these elements is symbolic, referencing the miraculous event associated with her martyrdom, where she is said to have sent a basket of fruit and flowers from heaven to a Roman lawyer who had mocked her faith.

Zurbarán's mastery in rendering textures and materials is evident in the detailed depiction of the saint's attire and the lifelike quality of the apples and roses. The use of chiaroscuro, a technique characterized by strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensional effect and the spiritual aura surrounding the figure of Saint Dorothy.

The painting is a testament to Zurbarán's skill in combining realism with spirituality, and it contributes to the understanding of the Counter-Reformation's impact on art, where the depiction of saints was intended to inspire devotion and reinforce Catholic doctrine. "Saint Dorothy, Full-length, Holding a Basket of Apples and Roses" remains an important work within Zurbarán's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance.
