EDITORS COMMENTS
**"Tenderness and Devotion: The Virgin and Child with Saint Rose of Viterbo (1670)"**
In this exquisite Baroque masterpiece, Spanish painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo captures the tender moment when Mary cradles her infant Jesus in a warm embrace. Surrounded by an angelic host of amorini, cherubs, and flowers, the Holy Family is bathed in soft light, radiating peace and serenity.
At their feet kneels Saint Rose of Viterbo (1233-1251), a Franciscan nun renowned for her mysticism and devotion to Christ. Her eyes are cast upwards towards Mary's gentle smile, as if seeking guidance or solace from the Mother of God.
Murillo's brushstrokes dance across the canvas with effortless elegance, imbuing each figure with an air of quiet contemplation. The Virgin's flowing robes billow around her like a cloud, while Jesus' tiny hands grasp at his mother's cloak in endearing innocence.
This stunning print is part of Murillo's oeuvre from the 1670s, when he was already renowned for his masterful depictions of sacred subjects. Today, it resides within the esteemed collections of Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, Spain - a testament to its enduring beauty and significance.
