"Saint Francis of Assisi in Prayer" is an evocative oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created circa 1635-1640. The artwork is renowned for its austere simplicity and spiritual intensity, reflecting the ascetic life and devout nature of its subject, Saint Francis of Assisi. Zurbarán, often referred to as the "Spanish Caravaggio," was known for his skillful use of chiaroscuro and his focus on religious subjects, and this painting is a prime example of his mastery in capturing the essence of spiritual contemplation and mysticism.

The painting depicts Saint Francis, the medieval Italian friar and preacher who founded the Franciscan Order, in a moment of deep prayer. The saint is typically shown in a humble monk's habit, with his eyes cast downward or closed in meditation, often with a skull or crucifix as symbols of his contemplation of death and Christ's suffering. Zurbarán's rendition is particularly noted for its realistic portrayal of the textures of the saint's robe and the stark contrast between the figure and the dark, undefined background, which serves to isolate and highlight the saint's form.

"Saint Francis of Assisi in Prayer" is part of a larger body of work by Zurbarán that includes several representations of the saint, each exploring different facets of his piety and penitence. The painting is held in high esteem for its spiritual resonance and its representation of Baroque religious art. It is housed in a number of prestigious collections, with versions of the theme found in various museums, reflecting its enduring appeal and the widespread appreciation of Zurbarán's artistic legacy.
