Known primarily as a great painter, Bartolome Esteban Murillo
(1617-1682) was also one of the best draftsmen of the 17th century.
Although his devotional paintings seem to have been created
effortlessly, they are the result of careful thought and study, a
process that comes alive in the preparatory drawings. Murillo used
a variety of techniques, favoring pen and ink and brown wash and
red-and-black chalk. Like painters schooled in Italian Renaissance
practice, the Spaniard developed his paintings in stages, starting
with sketches of the full composition and then focusing on details
that posed specific problems. Occasionally, Murillo used drawings
as a medium for original compositions; these are highly finished
pieces, usually enhanced by the use of wash and unmistakably
stamped with the artist's personality. This sumptuous book is a
thoroughly revised edition of the 1976 publication Murillo &
His Drawings. Twenty sheets have been added to the catalogue of
authentic works, the bibliography has been brought up to date, and
the entries have been revised. Published in association with Centro
de Estudios Europa Hispanica, Madrid
