"The Exhibition of the Body of St Bonaventure" is a notable painting by the Spanish Baroque artist Francisco de Zurbarán, created in 1629. This work is part of a series of paintings depicting scenes from the life of St Bonaventure, a 13th-century Italian theologian and philosopher who was also a cardinal and a Doctor of the Church. Zurbarán, known for his religious compositions and skilled use of chiaroscuro, captures the solemnity and reverence associated with the exhibition of the saint's body.

The painting portrays the moment when St Bonaventure's body is displayed to the faithful after his death, a practice common in the Catholic tradition to venerate saints and martyrs. Zurbarán's mastery in rendering the textures of fabrics and the human form is evident in this piece, where the stark contrasts of light and shadow enhance the spiritual atmosphere and the emotional intensity of the scene.

Measuring 266 cm by 171 cm, the painting is a significant example of Zurbarán's mature style, characterized by its dramatic lighting, realism, and depth of religious feeling. "The Exhibition of the Body of St Bonaventure" is admired for its devotional impact and its representation of Counter-Reformation ideals, which sought to reaffirm the Catholic faith through art during a period of religious turmoil in Europe.

The painting is held in the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville, Spain, where it continues to be an object of study and admiration for its artistic and historical significance. As a testament to Zurbarán's influence on Spanish art, "The Exhibition of the Body of St Bonaventure" remains an important work for understanding the visual culture of 17th-century Spain and the role of religious art in the Counter-Reformation.
