Abstract
The exhibition devoted to the painting of Francisco de Zurbarán (1598-1664), which was seen recently at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, is the first outside Spain to present a complete view of the painter who expressed better than any other the particular character of seventeenth-century Spanish religious art. It also provided a unique opportunity to see together some important paintings that are now located in rather out-of-the way places. Among them, and undoubtedly thanks to the position of the organizer of the exhibition—Conservateur en Chef Honoraire in the Department of Paintings, the Louvre—Jeannine Baticle, were the group of paintings executed by Zurbarán for the high altar of the church of Nuestra Señora de la Defensión in Jerez de la Frontera, most of which are now in Grenoble.
