St Margaret of Antioch by Francisco de Zurbarán (1630-4)

This is the second video in our six-part series 'My Favourite Artwork', in which a different artist or art historian talks about their favourite painting or sculpture from pre-20th-century art history. Here, art historian Richard Jacques explores Francisco de Zurbarán's Saint Margaret of Antioch, made in Spain between 1630-4.

Athena Art Foundation is a recently established not-for-profit art foundation dedicated to bringing pre-20th-century art to a wider audience. Make sure to subscribe to our channel to keep an eye out for the next instalment of 'My Favourite Artwork' later this month!
