Bartolomé Esteban Murillo’s *The Virgin and Child with Saints* (c. 1665-1670) showcases the Spanish Baroque artist’s characteristic use of light and color. The Virgin Mary and the Christ Child are depicted in a heavenly setting, surrounded by angels and cherubs, while four saints kneel below in adoration. Murillo’s masterful use of light creates a sense of divine radiance, emphasizing the holy figures and their heavenly aura. This painting demonstrates Murillo’s artistic virtuosity and devotion to religious themes.
