Bartolomé Esteban Murillo

Also known as: Bartolomé Esteban Murillo; primary name: Murillo, Bartolomé Esteban
Details: individual; painter/draughtsman; Spanish; Male
Life dates: 1617-1682
Biography: Painter, born and died Seville. Likely trained under Juan del Castillo. Ran an extremely successful workshop and his paintings were in high demand. Briefly travelled to Madrid (1658) but otherwise remained in Seville throughout his life, perhaps even, according to his biographer Palomino, declining an invitation to court by Charles II (1670). Along with Francisco de Herrera el Mozo (q.v.), founded a local painters' academy (1660). Painted portraits and genre scenes, but especially renowned for his paintings of children and his religious works, including his many versions of the 'Virgin of the Immaculate Conception' dispersed throughout international collections.
