Excerpt from Murillo
Who was Murillo, and wherefore had he come to Madrid? He was a workman's child, born in the last week of the year 1617 in Seville. His parents were poor people working hard for a somewhat scanty livelihood, and his mother added to the family earnings by the sale of fruit. Bartolomé Esteban was left almost entirely to himself to run wild as he liked, and in this way he became independent and self-reliant. Fortune was to give him every chance for his self-reliance, for before he was eleven years Old both his parents were carried Off by pestilence, and the lad was left to the care of his mother's only brother.
