Artworks classification

Original Artwork

Original Artwork refers to any work that is considered authentic and not a copy or imitation of the original works of an artist. Original artwork can be any type of painting, sculpture, performance, or other media. There are many types of original media. Mixed media includes oil, acrylic, and watercolor paintings. For workshop paintings that bear evidence of master craftsmanship, this attribution must be further qualified. While they may be less valuable for different reasons, reproductions and copies have had a tremendous impact on our experience.

It could also refer to a prototype or a model from which other works can be made. Each work bears great similarities to the original.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo was a famous Spanish painter of the 17th century, born on December 31, 1617 in Seville and died on April 3, 1682 in the same city.

Murillo is considered one of the greatest representatives of the Spanish school of Baroque painting. He began his artistic career working as an apprentice to Juan del Castillo, a local painter. Later he studied at the school of Francisco de Herrera the Elder, where he was influenced by the tenebrist style.

Murillo's style is characterized by a skilful use of light and color, as well as the realistic representation of religious subjects and scenes of daily life. His paintings were often imbued with a certain gentleness and a sense of spirituality.

Among Murillo's most famous works are his paintings of the Virgin Mary, often depicted with a humble and motherly. One of his best-known works is 'The Virgin and Child with Saint Rosalie', which shows the Virgin Mary tenderly holding the Christ Child.

Murillo was also renowned for his paintings of scenes from the life of the poor and street children of Seville. These paintings, such as "The Kids of the Shell" or "The Fruits of Summer", are imbued with compassion for the most disadvantaged social classes.

During his career, Murillo has acquired a great reputation in Spain and abroad. His works have been widely disseminated and reproduced, contributing to his continued popularity to the present day.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo left a lasting legacy in the world of art and is considered one of the greatest masters of Spanish Baroque painting. His paintings are exhibited in many museums around the world and continue to inspire generations of artists who have followed.
