LOPE DE VEGA, VELASQUEZ, ARIOSTO, and TASSO, are all said to have betrayed at their school-tasks the most marked indications of their subsequent characteristics. This decision of the impulse of genius is apparent in MURILLO. This young artist was undistinguished at the place of his birth.
He was the benefactor of Alonzo Cano; and when Murillo came up to Madrid, weary and footsore with his long tramp from Andalusia, sustained by an innate consciousness of power, all on fire with a picture of Van Dyck he had seen in Seville, the rich and honored painter of the court received with generous kindness the shabby young wanderer, clothed him, and taught him, and watched with noble delight the first flights of the young eagle whose strong wing was so soon to cleave the empyrean.
The latter, an Englishman, stated that the engines of the Murillo were backed before the collision, that she went astern afterwards, and then went on ahead. The delay altogether was only for a few minutes. No mention of the half-hour. The engineer had no object in telling a lie. The master of the Murillo had. No other ship was in collision off Dungeness that night.
Get into the rear car, and if you show your cowardly mug around here again, I'll kick you clean up through the top of your hat! You hear my promise, I opine." Murillo heard it, and he kept on going until he had vanished from the car. Barney Mulloy fairly quivered with laughter. "Be heavins, Badger," he chuckled, "ye know how to handle a shnake! It's a relation to St.
As a last resource, I had letters from Don Cassiodoro to Murillo himself, which I was to deliver in person bearding the lion in his den with my tutor to act as interpreter.
My mission to Cadiz was, partly, to ascertain the progress of the inquiry into the case of the Murillo steamer, more than suspected of having run down the Northfleet, a vessel laden with railway-iron and navvies, off Dungeness, on the night of the 22nd of January previous. Three hundred lives had been lost on the occasion.
His landscapes are more sincere than his religious canvases, which are almost as sensuous and earthly as Correggio without the magisterial brush-work and commanding conception of the Parma painter. To be quite fair, it may be admitted that Murillo could make a good portrait. Both in Madrid and Seville you may verify this.
John was the most lovely picture I have ever seen, and that there never was a painter who has really made the world richer, except Murillo. November 12th.
On that point depended his peace of mind and perhaps his life, and he knew how to get along in the Philippines! It is true that he had heard foreign painters mentioned Raphael, Murillo, Velasquez but he did not know their addresses, and then they might prove to be somewhat seditious.
As a first step he painted a quantity of banners, madonnas, flower-pieces anything and everything and sold them to a ship owner, who sent them to Spanish America; and it is said that this and similar trades originated the story that Murillo once visited Mexico and other Spanish-American countries. He sought out Velasquez, and asked him for letters to his friends in Rome.
