Curator Daniel Sobrino Ralston talks about Zurbarán at the National Gallery

Daniel Sobrino Ralston talks to Nicola Jennings about the visionary paintings by Francisco de Zurbarán on display at the National Gallery

Join us online on 25th June at 6pm for a discussion between Dr Daniel Sobrino Ralston and Dr Nicola Jennings about the fabulous paintings by Francisco de Zurbarán currently on display at the National Gallery.

Daniel is CEEH Associate Curator of Spanish Paintings at the National Gallery and co-curator of the gallery's new exhibition, Zurbarán. Nicola is a historian of Early Modern Spanish art and former Associate Lecturer at the Courtauld. There will also be the chance to ask your own questions to our speakers in a short audience Q&A section at the end of the event.

A Spanish artist and contemporary of Velázquez and Murillo, Francisco de Zurbarán (1598 - 1664) is known for combining vivid naturalism and heavenly visions of saints who he often dressed in gorgeous textiles. We will be discussing works on display in the exhibition including the beautiful Santa Casilda, Saint Luke Painting the Crucifixion and the National Gallery's own Cup of Water and a Rose.

In association with the Athena Art Foundation, this is a free online talk and you can register here.
