The picture Young beggar, also known as The lousy, one of the most popular works from Murillo (1617-1682) and one of the treasures of Louvre’s Museum, could be admired in Seville in 2010. A great exposition dedicated to the pictures of Murillo’s young time will arrive to Seville’s Museum of Bellas Artes in February.
The exposition is dedicated to young Murillo between 1640 and 1655 and it will show 40 pictures. This is the period in which Murillo is formed as artist and the exposition will attend on the period when Murillo focused his attention on the children living in the streets in Seville.
