"San Francisco Abrazando A Un Leproso (Grisalla)" is a notable work by the Spanish painter Zacarías González Velázquez (1763–1834). This piece is a fine example of grisaille, a painting technique that uses a monochrome palette of greys to imitate the effect of sculpture. The artwork depicts a moment of compassion and humility from the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, a revered Catholic saint known for his dedication to the poor and his vow of poverty.

In the painting, Saint Francis is shown embracing a leper, an act that symbolizes the saint's disregard for his own well-being and his deep sense of charity towards the sick and marginalized. The choice of grisaille enhances the dramatic and emotional impact of the scene, focusing the viewer's attention on the textures and the interplay of light and shadow, rather than the distractions of color.

Zacarías González Velazquez, a member of a prominent family of artists, was an influential figure in the Spanish art world of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His work on "San Francisco Abrazando A Un Leproso (Grisalla)" reflects the neoclassical style of the period, characterized by a return to classical ideals of harmony, simplicity, and proportion.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its religious and cultural implications, as it captures a key theme of Christian iconography—the virtue of charity—while also showcasing the artist's technical skill in grisaille. The work is an important part of González Velázquez's oeuvre and contributes to our understanding of Spanish art history and the broader European neoclassical movement.
