THE DIVINE MOTHER AND THE CHILD By Murillo (1618-1682)

Bartolome Esteban Murillo was born at Seville, Spain, January 1, 1618.

Very poor at first, he afterward gained wealth and fame by his masterly work, which made him an artist of the first rank. ”The peasant-painter of Spain,” as he has been called, was a man of deep religious convictions. ”He alone in the seventeenth century kept alive the pure flame of religious fervor which burned within the devout Italians of the early school.” His Madonnas are all of an especially sweet and gentle and motherly type.
