About the Artist
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo · 1618–1682
Son of Gaspar Esteban, a barber-surgeon, and María Pérez. He was orphaned at the age of ten and brought up by his maternal uncle, who placed him as an apprentice with his relative Juan del Castillo, a painter in the Italian manner. He adopted the surname of his maternal grandmother, Elvira Murillo, and rarely signed or used that of his father. Comment on works: History; Portraits; Religious
