Bartolome Esteban Murillo (1617–1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. He is best known for his religious paintings, but he also did works that focused on women and children, that offer a realistic view into life during the 1600s. Among his best known works are Madonna of the Rosary, A Boy Drinking, The Marriage of the Virgin, and The Beggar Girl. This painting, titled The Nativity, is housed in the Louvre in Paris. On several occasions, Murillo chose the Nativity for the subject of his great canvasses. He was always safe to attract the admiration of his clients by his reverse treatment of a scene that left so much to the imagination of the artist. His pictures were very greatly admired by the French invaders of Spain, and it was to Marshal Soult that many Frenchmen owed their first introduction to Murillo.
