Still Life with Lemons, Oranges and a Rose is an oil-on-canvas painting by Baroque Spanish artist Francisco de Zurbarán completed in 1633.

As described by Andreas Prater:[3] Zurbaran isolates the objects from one another – even the composition appears to be a conscious, though not excessively artificial arrangement.

The human beings to whom they apparently belong have no place here.Norman Bryson writes:[4] Lemons, Oranges, Cup and a Rose shows a visual field so purified and so perfectly composed that the familiar objects seem on the brink of transfiguration or (the inevitable word) transubstantiation.

Standing at some imminent intersection with the divine, and with eternity, they exactly break with the normally human.Many of Zurbaran's works contained Christian themes, and the objects in the painting are often interpreted as having symbolic meaning as alluding to the Holy Trinity or as an homage to the Virgin Mary.

Morten Lauridsen wrote in the Wall Street Journal:[5] ...the objects in this work are symbolic offerings to the Virgin Mary.
