Murillo, Bartolomé Esteban (1617-1682), was a renowned Spanish painter known for his religious and genre scenes. His works often depicted subjects such as The Virgin and St. Anne, Saint Rose of Lima, Saint Peter in Tears, and The Magdalene. One of Murillo's notable paintings is "The Flower Girl" created between 1665-1670. This masterpiece showcases the artist's ability to capture the innocence and beauty of youth through his delicate brushstrokes. Another remarkable piece by Murillo is "Beggar boys playing dice, " painted in 1675. This artwork portrays street children engaging in a simple game while highlighting their poverty-stricken lives with great empathy. In addition to his religious themes, it also explored secular subjects like "The Good Shepherd. " Created in the 20th century by A. H Ritchie, this painting pays homage to Murillo's iconic representation of Jesus as a compassionate shepherd guiding his flock. "The Crucifixion, " dating back to around 1675, exemplifies Murillo's mastery in capturing intense emotions through vivid colors and dramatic compositions. This powerful depiction of Christ on the cross serves as a testament to the artist's deep spiritual connection. Although not related directly to Bartolomé Esteban Murillo himself, it is worth mentioning that there was also a Spanish steamer named after him. While unrelated to artistry or painting techniques, this vessel carried its own significance within maritime history.
