Madonna col Bambino

1670s
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 624
Questo dipinto, uno dei migliori dell’artista, faceva parte della collezione del marchese di Santiago, che possedeva diversi capolavori di Murillo. Nel 1728 fu catalogato come “Nostra Signora del latte col Bambino”. In realtà pare proprio che l’attenzione del bambino sia stata momentaneamente distolta dall’allattamento dalla presenza dell’osservatore. La popolarità dei quadri di Murillo raffiguranti la Madonna col Bambino deriva dalla sua capacità di ravvivare un tema ormai logoro conferendovi tratti di intimità e dolcezza. Il quadro risale agli anni 1670-72 circa, epoca in cui Murillo era il pittore più famoso di Spagna.
