The hearty Baroque realism of Bartolomé Esteban Murillo shows a sentimental side in this icon of the Christ Child as the Good Shepherd. Inspired by an earlier artwork by Stefano della Bella, the scene touches the viewer thanks to Murillo’s talent for capturing a child’s essence on the canvas, whether street beggar, flower girl, or the young Savior.
