The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He painted saints and Madonnas for Spanish altars, but what sets Murillo apart is the parallel body of work: street kids, beggars, flower sellers - everyday Seville rendered unsentimental and exact. The Baroque piety paid the bills; the genre scenes became his signature.

About this person
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was baptised in Seville on 1 January 1618 and spent his career there through the height of the Spanish Baroque. While religious commissions formed the core of his output, he devoted substantial energy to contemporary life - lively, realistic portraits of women and children from the city's lower ranks that now constitute an extensive record of 17th-century Spanish daily existence. He painted himself twice: once in his thirties, now in the Frick Collection, and again roughly twenty years later, held by London's National Gallery. In 2017-18, the two institutions mounted a joint exhibition of the pair. He died in Seville on 3 April 1682.
