Summary

An artist whose paintings emphasized the peaceful, joyous aspects of spiritual life, Bartolome Esteban Murillo was the most popular religious painter of 17th-century Spain. Yet little has been written about Murillo, and this splendid volume -- which accompanies the first-ever exhibition of his paintings in American collections -- is the only comprehensive survey of the artist's work available in English.

Presenting new research and essays by the major scholars in the field, the book covers the full range of Murillo's stylistic development -- including portraits, history paintings, and religious images. Many of the artworks have been freshly restored and newly photographed, offering art lovers a wonderful opportunity to appreciate and enjoy Murillo's superb paintings.
