"Saint Francis in Meditation" is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created in the 17th century, specifically around 1635-1639. This work is part of a series of paintings by Zurbarán that depict the life and spirituality of Saint Francis of Assisi, a saint renowned for his profound devotion to God and ascetic lifestyle. The painting is a striking example of Zurbarán's mastery in capturing the essence of religious fervor and the mysticism of the Counter-Reformation period in Spain.

The artwork portrays Saint Francis in a moment of deep contemplation, dressed in the simple, coarse robe of the Franciscan order, with the stigmata visible on his hands as signs of his profound identification with the sufferings of Christ. The composition is characterized by a stark contrast between the dark, almost monochromatic background and the luminous figure of the saint, illuminated from an unseen light source. This dramatic chiaroscuro enhances the spiritual intensity of the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the saint's expression of inner ecstasy and penitence.

"Saint Francis in Meditation" is notable for its meticulous attention to texture and detail, particularly in the rendering of the saint's habit and the skull he contemplates, a symbol of mortality and penance. Zurbarán's use of light not only highlights the saint's physical presence but also suggests his spiritual radiance, creating a sense of divine presence within the painting.

This work is currently housed in the National Gallery, London, where it continues to be admired for its devotional subject matter, technical excellence, and its ability to convey the depth of Saint Francis's spiritual experiences. "Saint Francis in Meditation" remains a quintessential example of Francisco de Zurbarán's religious art, reflecting the artist's profound understanding of faith and his ability to translate spiritual concepts into compelling visual imagery.
