"St. Agatha" (1630-33) is a celebrated oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán. Known for his religious works that combine a Caravaggesque use of chiaroscuro with a realistic observation of form and detail, Zurbarán's depiction of St. Agatha is no exception. The painting portrays the early Christian martyr, St. Agatha of Sicily, who was persecuted for her faith during the Roman Empire.

In this work, Zurbarán captures St. Agatha in a moment of serene resignation to her suffering. She is traditionally depicted after her torture, where, according to hagiographic accounts, her breasts were cut off as part of her martyrdom. Zurbarán's representation is noted for its stark realism combined with a profound sense of piety and grace. The saint is shown with her gaze directed heavenward, suggesting her spiritual fervor and unwavering faith in the face of brutality.

The painting is characterized by its austere composition and the dramatic contrast of light and shadow, which serve to highlight the figure of the saint and her attributes. The use of light not only enhances the tactile quality of the drapery and the saint's pallor but also imbues the scene with a sense of the divine. St. Agatha is typically depicted in a simple tunic, and in Zurbarán's rendition, the folds of her garment are rendered with meticulous attention to detail, showcasing his skill in depicting textiles—a hallmark of his artistic style.

"St. Agatha" is a prime example of Zurbarán's mastery in portraying religious subjects with a combination of naturalism and mysticism. The painting is a testament to the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the visual arts as a means of inspiring faith and devotion among the faithful. It remains an important work within Zurbarán's oeuvre and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance within the context of 17th-century Spanish painting.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, the painting is held in a public collection, allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate Zurbarán's work and its contribution to the Baroque period's religious iconography.
