Description: "This book accompanies the first exhibition of Murillo's paintings from American collections. Some of the works discussed here are well known; others have rarely been seen before. Several have been restored and photographed especially for this exhibition.

The authoritative essays in the catalogue investigate the artist's career and stylistic development, as well as related topics, such as the artist's work on unusual supports (especially stone and copper), his drawings, and painting practices in Murillo's influential workshop.".

"Illustrated, this important book offers a new look at the career of one of the central figures of the Spanish golden age. It will be an indispensable addition to the libraries of scholars, students, and lovers of Spanish painting alike."--BOOK JACKET.
