Description
Here is one of my first oil paintings on canvas (18"x24") painted using Master's Techniques, a reproduction after Murillo's Madonna and child done in c. 1650, a Spanish Mater artist. I painted this when I first started sitting in the art classes at my community college. This was the first time I learnt how to paint in oil using master's techniques, painting layers, brunt umber, grisaille and color (I still didn't have much training in perspective drawing so the drawing was basically done freehand so it probably took me much longer than if I had painted this after learning the techniques). I really enjoyed painting this piece...
Murillo was a Spanish Master Artist trained in Seville, where he spent his whole career. This painting of the Madonna and Child formed part of the collection of the Marqu�s de Santiago, who owned a number of outstanding works by the artist. The popularity of Murillo�s paintings of the Madonna and Child derives from his ability to endow a timeworn theme with a quality of intimacy and sweetness. The infant�s attention has, in this picture, been momentarily diverted from nursing by the presence of the viewer.
