| Περίληψη: | This work explores the allegorical meanings of two narrative series of paintings created by one of Spain's baroque painters, Bartolome Esteban Murillo, in the crucial decade of Spain's spiralling decline, 1660-1670. The six paintings that make up The Parable of the Prodigal Son represent Christ's parable recorded in the gospel of Luke. The Life of Jacob, five canvases that are believed to have been commissioned by Seville's Marquis of Villamanrique, follows the life of the Old Testament patriarch found in Genesis. |
