Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is one of the most celebrated artists of the Spanish Baroque era. Though known primarily for his religious paintings, he also created iconic genre paintings, portraits, and narrative works. Basing his practice on direct observation, he anchored his paintings-wether scenes of the Holy Family or young beggars on the Sevillian streets-in reality. This beautiful publication showcases more than fifty works that demonstrate his skill in conveying the cultural narratives of his time. Essays by distinguished scholars explore Murillo's art in the context of diversity in the city of Seville and through the lenses of antiquity, northern culture, and portraiture. Through this innovative examination, Murillo's astonishing ability to challenge the boundaries between sacred and secular, heaven and earth, is revealed.
