ABOUT THE ARTIST

Bartolomé Estebán Murillo (1617/18-1682) was born in Seville where he probably trained in the studio of Juan del Castillo (ca.1590-ca.1657). He received many commissions and worked especially for the religious orders but was also a renowned portrait painter. He may have undertaken a journey to Madrid where he could have met Diego Velazquez (1599-1660) however this cannot be confirmed. He died a few months after he fell from the scaffoldings in the church of the Capuchines in Cádiz, whilst still painting the main altarpiece.This painting is a copy after a composition by the Spanish Baroque painter Murillo, currently housed in the Galleria Borghese, Rome. It shows the Virgin and Child in a very naturalistic manner with no apparent sign of their divinity. This new formula was probably influenced by both Flemish art and Murillo's taste for scenes of childhood. This painting is a good example of the new naturalism which developed in Spain during the 17th century and was probably destined to private devotion.A beautiful oil on canvas portrait depicting a finely painted mother & child after Raphael's famous Madonna & Child. The painting is in the late eigtheenth century style and is European School.Finished in a blend of subtle background colours and focased on the central image of the mother with child sitting and held on her knees.FRAME:The original frame is fitted and is in good condition,having been professionally re-gilded.CONDITION:The canvas is in good order and the painted surfaces are still fairly fresh and vibrant.Under ultra-violet light inspection,the painted surfaces are seen to be very original,with almost no overpainting seen at all.DATE:
