Excerpt from Murillo
Mubillo's life is strangely devoid of personal interest, even for the usually uneventful career of an artist. What is known of him and his works I have endeavoured to collect within the small compass of this book. I have based it upon Stromer's Murillo, Leben und Werke, which is an outline of a Spanish biography by Tubino.
