Title: St. Casilda of Toledo Artist: Francisco de Zurbarán (Spanish, 1598-1664) Date: ca. 1635 Genre: religious art (Roman Catholic Christianity) Period: Spanish Golden Age (Siglo de Oro) Movement: Tenebrism Medium: oil on canvas Dimensions: 171 cm (67.3 in) high x 107 cm (42.1 in) wide Location: Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, Madrid, Spain

St. Casilda was the daughter of Yahya ibn-Ismail al-Mamun, Muslim ruler of the Taifa of Toledo from 1043 to 1075. According to tradition, she smuggled food to maltreated Christian captives of her father. On one occasion, she was stopped and searched, only for the hidden bread to transform into roses; it is this moment that Zurbarán chose to depict. After being healed of an illness at the shrine of San Vicente, Casilda converted to Christianity and became a penitential hermit.

Francisco de Zurbarán, one of the most important painters of the Spanish Golden Age, was dubbed "the Spanish Caravaggio" for his careful use of chiaroscuro, influenced by the great Italian master. He excelled both in religious art and in the still life (bodegon).
