Artist
Painting
Proclaimed by many scholars as one of the most important Spanish painters of the 17th century, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo has been established as one of the great painters of the Baroque period. Murillo was born in December 1617, in Seville, Spain, where he would live and work for his entire life. The youngest of fourteen children, he was orphaned before his tenth birthday, and raised by one of his older sisters and her husband. His experience with art began sometime in the 1630s, when he undertook training from the painter Juan del Castillo and completed his first canvases, two religious scenes done for the monastery of La Regina Angelorum.
