"St. William of Aquitaine" is a notable oil painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created in 1635. The painting depicts William of Aquitaine, the founder of the Abbey of Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert in France and a revered saint in the Catholic Church. Zurbarán, renowned for his religious works, captures the saint in a moment of contemplative repose, dressed in the white habit of the Benedictine order, which he is traditionally associated with, despite historical inaccuracies regarding his actual monastic affiliation.

The artwork is exemplary of Zurbarán's mastery in rendering the textures of fabrics and the play of light and shadow to evoke a sense of spiritual solemnity. "St. William of Aquitaine" is part of a series of paintings representing the founders of religious orders, which was originally commissioned for the Monastery of the Shod Mercedarians in Seville, Spain. The series aimed to inspire devotion and admiration for the monastic life through the portrayal of these revered figures.

Zurbarán's "St. William of Aquitaine" is celebrated for its austere composition and the artist's ability to convey the saint's piety and the quiet dignity of monastic life. The painting's precise location and ownership have varied over time, and it has been exhibited in several prominent museums, contributing to the understanding and appreciation of Zurbarán's work and the religious iconography of the 17th century. The painting is a significant piece within Zurbarán's oeuvre and serves as a fine example of Spanish Golden Age art, reflecting the Counter-Reformation's emphasis on the veneration of saints and the spiritual renewal within the Catholic Church.
