Summary "Murillo" by H. Knackfuss is an artist monograph written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life and works of the celebrated Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, highlighting his significance in the realm of Baroque art and the essence of his contributions to Spanish painting. It appears to provide an in-depth examination of Murillo’s artistic journey, influences, and notable pieces, which encapsulate themes of everyday life and religious devotion. The opening of the book introduces Murillo's beginnings, detailing his baptism in Seville and the limited historical information available about his early life. It discusses his apprenticeship under Juan de Castillo and his early struggles as a painter after losing his mentor. The text illustrates his ambition to seek greater artistic inspiration beyond Seville, prompting him to travel to Madrid. There, under the guidance of Diego Velázquez, Murillo’s style began to evolve, leading to his first major success with a significant commission at a Franciscan monastery, marking the start of his rise to fame as a master painter. This opening sets the tone for a thorough exploration of his artistic milestones and the evolution of his painting style throughout his career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
