More about this artwork

Discover the tender beauty encapsulated within Bartolomé Estebán Murillo's exquisite painting "The Virgin and Child with a Rosary," created around 1670-1680. This poignant artwork depicts the Virgin Mary holding a young Christ Child, conveying a sense of maternal tenderness and divine tranquility.In the painting, Mary is dressed in a radiant red robe, symbolizing love and passion, draped with a deep blue cloak that traditionally represents her purity and divine role. She holds the Christ Child gently on her lap, both of them gazing towards the viewer with expressions filled with serenity and a slight touch of solemnity. The Christ Child, depicted with a naturalistic vulnerability, clutches a rosary, which adds a symbolic layer, emphasizing faith and devotion.Murillo is renowned for his soft, warm color palette and his skill in rendering human emotion through expressions and gestures. This painting exemplifies his mastery of these qualities, with its subtle chiaroscuro and the delicately painted flesh tones of the figures that seem to glow against the dark background.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (December 1617, January 1, 1618 – April 3, 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively realistic portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times. He also painted two self-portraits, one in the Frick Collection portraying him in his 30s, and one in London's National Gallery portraying him about 20 years later. In 2017–18, the two museums held an exhibition of them.
