Saint Hugh in the Carthusian Refectory is a painting of 1655 by Francisco de Zurbarán, now in the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville.
One day Hugh had sent them meat and, during a discussion on whether it was right to break their fast and accept the gift, they fell into an ecstatic dream.
Forty-five days later Hugh sent a message that he was coming to see them, but his messenger returned and reported that the Carthusians were still sitting in front of the meat despite it being Lent.
He told him a date forty-five days earlier and explained their debate over whether to accept his meat.
Also on the table are two terracotta jugs, an overturned bowl and two abandoned knives for cutting the meat.
