El Sueño de el PatricioOn this painting, Murillo portraits the dream of “El patricio Juan.” Juan is sleeping next to his wife while he receives a message from the Virgin Marie, on the dream the Virgin is communicating to Juan that she wants a church to be built on a place that will get snow the next day.
I loved the painting because is huge and complex. The light and the colors are well worked and the golden frame is stunning.
La Inmaculada de los Venerables “Soult”
Murillo painted this oil on canvas in 1678.
The Spanish artist used as a subject of many of his paintings the Immaculate Conception. On this piece, The Virgin Marie is right in the middle, surrounded by beautiful angels who are playing around between clouds.
If you look close enough, you will see the peace on the eyes of the virgin and the shadows of her dress. When I was standing in front of the painting, I was trying to count the angels but I could not obtain an exact number. Can you?
