The John the Baptist series was probably painted c. 1655 for the monastery of San Leandro in Murillo's home town of Seville (where it remained until 1812), and it marks an important step in the development of Murillo's mature style. 'The Baptism of Christ' already demonstrates mastery of brushwork, reticent colouring and delicately blurred faces, but the forms are not yet so delicately linked together, and the astringent, profoundly serious atmosphere has none of the sweetness of many of his later works, of which the Berlingallery owned two significant examples until 1945. Murillo clearly surpasses an altar-panel painted by Rubens in Mechelen, which is known to us from drawings and to which Murillo's composition owes a great deal, particularly in the naturalness of the pictorial structure with the two life-size figures.

'The Baptism of Christ' already demonstrates mastery of brushwork, reticent colouring and delicately blurred faces, but the forms are not yet so delicately linked together, and the astringent, profoundly serious atmosphere has none of the sweetness of many of his later works, of which the Berlingallery owned two significant examples until 1945.

Bartolomé Esteban Murillo (born late December 1617, baptized January 1, 1618 – April 3, 1682) was a Spanish Baroque painter. Although he is best known for his religious works, Murillo also produced a considerable number of paintings of contemporary women and children. These lively, realist portraits of flower girls, street urchins, and beggars constitute an extensive and appealing record of the everyday life of his times.   Murillo was best known for painting historical and religious scenes, portraits and still lifes in oil and fresco during the golden ear of Spanish art. He brought life to a wide range of subjects, from the grandeur of his ‘Immaculate Conception’ to the casual grace of ‘Two Women at a Window’.   Murillo cultivated his own style of painting, incorporating Flemish and Venetian influences and evolving throughout his career.
