A revealing exploration of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s genre
paintings and the cultural significance of his depictions of
ordinary people Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) is best
known for his religious subject matter, yet some of his most iconic
works depict secular themes. Celebrating Murillo’s genre
paintings and shedding new light on the innovative portrayals of
beggars, street urchins, and flower girls in the artist’s
culturally rich narratives of youth and age, romance and seduction,
and faith and charity, this generously illustrated volume features
insightful essays that address Murillo’s art through the lenses
of antiquity, northern culture, portraiture, and diversity in the
city of Seville. The catalogue also contains detailed commentaries
on the more than fifty works included in the exhibition, further
exploring these paintings’ complex meanings to reveal their
importance in their own time and suggest their relevance in our
own. Distributed for the Kimbell Art Museum Exhibition Schedule:
Kimbell Art Museum, Fort Worth, TX (September 18, 2022–January
