Biography:
Briefly trained by Juan de Castillo, Bartolome Esteban Murillo made his early living by selling poorly executed religious painting at public fairs. In 1648, he moved to Madrid and met Velazquez, who introduced his work to the Spanish royal court. He began painting Franciscan saints for the monastery in Seville, and later produced genre paintings of the poor and homeless. In 1660 he co-founded the Seville Academy and was its first president. Murillo died from a fall while painting an altarpiece in 1682.
