MURILLO'S HOUSE
The house where the painter Barolomé Esteban Murillo spent his last years in Seville
It is in this house that the painter Barolomé Esteban Murillo spent his last years. A place that was opened in December 2017 to mark the Murillo Year and has become a centre for the interpretation of his work. Although it underwent many modifications in the 20th century, this house is in the form of a typical 17th century Seville palace house, organized around the central patio. And above all, it is an instructive starting point to start the tour that will allow you to follow in Murillo's footsteps in 17th century Seville, via 20 points related to his personal and professional life, on the occasion of which you can contemplate more than 50 original paintings and 80 reproductions of his most emblematic works. Also very interesting, a documentary of about an hour "Murillo, the last journey" traces the painter's life and recalls in particular the exactions of a certain Marshal Soult, also a man of culture and the negotiations that surrounded the comings and goings from Seville to Paris, of one of his most famous paintings "the young beggar" which illustrated many books of French history.
