A simple way to make small images dynamically centered :

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Pos;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
import javafx.scene.image.ImageView;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

public class CenterInStage extends Application {

    private final String TITLE = "Center in Stage";
    private final double WIDTH = 350;
    private final double HEIGHT = 250;
    private final String IMAGE_PATH =
            "http://icons.iconarchive.com/icons/iconka/meow-2/64/cat-rascal-icon.png";

    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        primaryStage.setTitle(TITLE);

        Image image = new Image(IMAGE_PATH);
        ImageView imageView = new ImageView(image);
        imageView.setPreserveRatio(true);

        StackPane pane = new StackPane();
        pane.getChildren().add(imageView);
        StackPane.setAlignment(imageView, Pos.CENTER);

        Scene scene = new Scene(pane, WIDTH, HEIGHT);

        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
}
