Bartolomé Estebán Murillo, 1670 - Virgin and Child - fine art print

Additional artwork information by The Metropolitan Museum of Art (© - The Metropolitan Museum of Art - The Metropolitan Museum of Art)

Like Zurbarán and Velázquez, Murillo was trained in Seville, where he spent his whole career. Often referred to as the "Santiago Madonna," this painting once belonged to the Marqués de Santiago, whose collection contained many outstanding works by the artist. The popularity of Murillo’s paintings of the Virgin and Child derives from his ability to endow a timeworn theme with a quality of intimacy and sweetness. In this picture, the infant’s attention has been momentarily diverted from nursing by the presence of the viewer.

About the item

Select your desired product material

The product dropdown menu gives you the chance to select your individual material and size. The following options are available for individualization:

• Poster (canvas material): Our poster print is a UV printed canvas with a fine surface structure. Please note, that depending on the absolute size of the poster print we add a white margin of something between 2-6cm around the painting, which facilitates the framing.
• Aluminium dibond print: Aluminium Dibond prints are prints on metal with a true depth. A non-reflective surface structure creates a fashionable look. The Direct Print on Aluminum Dibond is the excellent introduction to the sophisticated world of reproductions on aluminum.
• The canvas print: A printed canvas, not to be confused with an artwork painted on a canvas, is a digital copy printed on a cotton canvas. It creates a sculptural look of three-dimensionality. Canvas Prints have the advantage of being low in weight. This means, it is easy and straightforward to hang the Canvas print without the support of any wall-mounts. That is why, canvas prints are suited for any type of wall.
• Printed acrylic glass: The acrylic glass print, often referred to as a UV print on plexiglass, transforms the original work of art into beautiful home décor. The work of art is manufactured with the help of state-of-the-art UV direct printing technology. This creates impressive, vivid color hues. The major benefit of an acrylic glass fine art print is that contrasts and granular color details become identifiable because of the precise gradation.
