Reuniting the only two known self-portraits by Murillo for the first time in over three hundred years, this free National Gallery exhibition marks the 400th anniversary of the artist's birth. One of the most celebrated painters of the Spanish Golden Age, Bartolomé Esteban Murillo is well known for his religious paintings and depictions of street children. He was also an ingenious portraitist though this has been less frequently studied. The first 'Self-Portrait' (from about 1650-55) in the Frick Collection shows Murillo in his thirties while the second was painted roughly twenty years later. The two portraits are hung alongside ten other works, some by Murillo and others reproductions of the two paintings, showing their fame in Europe.
