 The man known as Bartolome Estaban Murillo, was a good hearted man who later died months after a fight with twenty feet of gravity as well as a marble floor. He was an artist of the Baroque movement, and as such his subjects mostly contained religious themes as well as children. His style was mainly focused on naturalistic, mystical, idealized reality that was very intimate.

 The \u201cVirgin of the Rosary\u201d<\/em>(c. 1650) was one of his relatively early works and shows his care into making the figures feel soft and inviting. It is also probably his best virgin and child paintings.

  A very masterful portrait was that of \u201cPortrait of Don Justino de Neve\u201d<\/em>(1665),<\/em> one of Murillo\u2019s close friends and one who was vital in getting major commissions. As well as a painting with lots of Easter eggs and hidden meanings.

 \u201cThe Young Beggar\u201d<\/em>(c. 1645) was one of the pieces that showed how Murillo was unique in subject and portraying a quality level of realism. He also made these kinds of paintings specifically for foreigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Some final paintings of Murillo were \u201cThe Two Trinities\u201d<\/em>(1675-1682) <\/em>and the one that ended him \u201cThe Mystic Marriage of Saint Catherine\u201d<\/em>(1680-1682), which was completed by his pupil later on. Both of these have a strong religious theme and have a very strong use of light and dark.
