Virgen con el Niño is a 1659 oil by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, held at Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts.
This painting shows a tender moment between a woman and a child. The woman, dressed in blue with a white headscarf, gently holds the child in her arms. The child, wearing a blue robe, looks up at the woman with a curious expression. The painting's use of warm colors and soft lighting creates a sense of intimacy and warmth. The woman's gentle touch and the child's curious gaze convey a sense of love and connection. The painting's style and technique are reminiscent of the works of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, a Spanish painter known for his use of chiaroscuro and impasto.
Bartolomé Esteban Murillo ( mure-IL-oh, m(y)uu-REE-oh, Spanish: ; late December 1617, baptised 1 January 1618 – 3 April 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter.
