Madonna with Bambino MURILLO 17TH CENTURY

 
This image appeared in our September, 2005 gallery: it was taken from a Christmas card sent by a friend many years ago and which is cherished still. Murillo is one of Catholic Tradition's favorite painters. He was a very pious Catholic and almost all of his works are of religious figures; the others are of children and or the poor, and these, too, bear on his Catholicity. Bartolome Esteban Murillo is best known for painting the Madonna in her Immaculate Conception and Christ in His Passion. This image is in the Pitti Palace Gallery, Florence.
