Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (January 1, 1618 - April 3, 1682) was a Spanish painter from Seville. He excelled in the painting of light clouds, flowers, water, and drapery, and in the use of color. He was very talented from the start.

He began his art studies under Juan del Castillo. In 1642, at the age of 26 he moved to Madrid, where he became a pupil of Velasquez. He returned to Seville in 1645.

He is best known for his Roman Catholic religious works.
