There are 2 ways to do it: 1. Add style to your resources without name, so it will apply to every element of that type:

<Page.Resources>
    <Style TargetType="Grid">
        <Setter Property="Background">
            <Setter.Value>
                <ImageBrush ImageSource="/Assets/SplashScreen.png"/>
            </Setter.Value>
        </Setter>
    </Style>
</Page.Resources>

2. Add style with name and apply it whenever you need 

<Page.Resources>
<Style x:Key="ImageStyle"  TargetType="Grid">
    <Setter Property="Background">
        <Setter.Value>
            <ImageBrush ImageSource="/Assets/SplashScreen.png"/>
        </Setter.Value>
    </Setter>
</Style>
</Page.Resources>
<Grid Style="{StaticResource ImageStyle}">
</Grid>
