Details: This poster is from the Altarpiece of the Colegio Mayor de Santo Tomss in Seville, Scene: Apotheosis of St. Thomas Aquinas, by Francisco de Zurbaran. It shows St. Thomas Aquinas in heaven, talking to several old men with large books. Below them are several men praying up to him.
Francisco de Zurbarán (November 7, 1598 ¿ August 27, 1664) was a Spanish painter. He is known primarily for his religious paintings depicting monks, nuns, and martyrs, and for his still-lifes. Zurbarán gained the nickname Spanish Caravaggio, owing to the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled. He painted directly from nature, and he made great use of the lay-figure in the study of draperies, in which he was particularly proficient. His subjects were mostly severe and ascetic religious vigils, the spirit chastising the flesh into subjection, the compositions often reduced to a single figure. Exceptional effects are attained by the precisely finished foregrounds, massed out largely in light and shade.
