[00:00:00]Francisco Dubberan is regarded as one of the three great painters of 17th century Spain.

[00:00:08]His figures have this very kind of crisp sculptural presence on the canvas, very intense, dramatic lighting.

[00:00:19]Often we see his figures against black impenetrable backgrounds.

[00:00:23]There's something in his work that stands completely outside of time.

[00:00:29]Zerberan is undoubtedly the great religious painter. He absolutely dominates that scene.

[00:00:38]>> Zorbran, I think, has a lot to tell us today about how to look. One of the great qualities of his paintings is to bring a real stillness to life.

[00:00:48]>> This is someone who believes his job is to make you feel something through paint.
