Bartolomé Estebán Murillo

Spanish, 1617–1682

Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (1617–1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter known for his religious works and numerous paintings depicting women and children from his era. Born in late December 1617 and baptized in Seville, he lost his parents as a child and was raised by his sister Ana and her husband. Murillo studied art in Seville in the workshop of Juan del Castillo, his uncle and godfather, and his early works reflected a realist approach. He painted two self-portraits, now in the Frick Collection and the National Gallery, which were exhibited together in 2017–18.
