"Santa Faz" (Holy Face) is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created approximately between 1635 and 1640. This work of art is a religious painting that depicts the Veil of Veronica, a Christian relic believed to bear the face of Jesus Christ. The painting is a prime example of Zurbarán's mastery in capturing the spiritual intensity and the stark realism characteristic of his work, which has often been associated with the Counter-Reformation and the mysticism of his time.

In "Santa Faz," Zurbarán employs a dramatic use of chiaroscuro, a technique that plays with strong contrasts between light and shadow, to emphasize the divine light emanating from the holy image. The face of Christ appears serene and suffused with a gentle light against a dark, undefined background, which serves to focus the viewer's attention solely on the sacred countenance and the cloth upon which it is imprinted. The fine details of Christ's features and the delicate rendering of the veil showcase Zurbarán's skill in creating a tangible sense of texture and depth.

The painting is a devotional image meant to inspire piety and contemplation. It reflects the intense religious fervor of the period in Spain and the importance of imagery in personal and communal devotion. "Santa Faz" is considered one of Zurbarán's significant contributions to religious art, demonstrating his ability to convey the spiritual and emotional resonance of sacred subjects.

Francisco de Zurbarán (1598–1664) was a contemporary of Diego Velázquez and a figure of great importance in the Golden Age of Spanish painting. His works are known for their simplicity, powerful forms, and a sometimes austere but deeply felt religiosity. "Santa Faz" is a testament to Zurbarán's reputation as a painter of the spiritual and the solemn, earning him the moniker "Spanish Caravaggio" for his similar use of tenebrism and focus on religious themes.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance within Zurbarán's oeuvre and Spanish Baroque art.
