Madrid: the “Labours of Hercules” for the Buen Retiro
In 1634 Zurbarán travels to Madrid, where for the newly built Buen Retiro palace he departs from religious subjects: he paints a cycle of ten canvases of the deeds of Hercules (now in the Prado) and the historical composition “The Defence of Cádiz”. Studying the work of Italian painters and meeting other leading masters in the capital enriches his art.

From the late 1630s Zurbarán’s workshop produces many paintings for export to South America. “Jacob and His Twelve Sons” seems to have been aimed at the South American market too, but the originals were acquired for Auckland Castle in England.
