MURILLO, Bartolomé Esteban
(b. 1617, Sevilla, d. 1682, Sevilla)

Immaculate Conception

1670
Oil on canvas

Murillo painted over thirty versions of the Immaculate Conception, each with its own peculiarities, unique grace, richness of detail, and delicate colours. However, conventionalism can be observed in some of these paintings.
