Saint Gregory the Great ships together with the principal shipSaint Gregory the Great Francisco de Zurbarn (baptized November 7, 1598 on 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. Zurbarn gained the nickname Spanish Caravaggio, owing to the forceful, realistic use of chiaroscuro in which he excelled.
