Saint Casilda's Devotion
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite oil on canvas print from the early 17th century, Spanish master Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664) captures the poignant moment when Saint Casilda of Toledo gazes directly at us. The saintly princess, a convert to Christianity in the face of Islamic persecution during the Moorish occupation of Spain's capital city, is depicted with compassionate eyes and an embroidered armband adorning her brown hair.
Zurbarán's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality as Saint Casilda stands full-length against a warm, earthy background. Her long-haired headband adds to the overall elegance of her attire, while the intricate needlework on her clothing dress showcases the artist's attention to detail.
As one of Spain's most celebrated artists during his time, Zurbarán was known for his masterful portraiture and ability to convey a sense of spirituality through his subjects. This stunning print from 1630 is now part of the esteemed collection at Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid.
Saint Casilda's martyrdom serves as a powerful symbol of faith, courage, and resilience against adversity - qualities that are beautifully reflected in this portrait by Francisco de Zurbarán.
