The Virgin and Child with the Infant St John the Baptist crowing where he had great successAn intimate and delicate painting focusing on the relationship between the Christ child and his cousin St. John Francisco de Zurbarn was a Spanish painter. He is known primarily for his religious paintings depicting monks, nuns, and martyrs, and for his still lifes. Zurbarn gained the nickname Spanish Caravaggio, owing to the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled.
