EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "The Mutilated Murillo, the Celebrated San Antonio in the Cathedral at Seville" showcases a tragic incident that occurred in the world of art. The image depicts the space left behind after a portion of this renowned picture was ruthlessly cut out and stolen. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print is now part of a private collection. "The Mutilated Murillo" highlights the significance of religious art within places of worship, as it portrays San Antonio surrounded by celestial beings. The stolen section leaves an empty void where once resided angels and seraphs, enhancing our understanding of just how much has been lost. The scene takes place within Seville Cathedral, one of Spain's most iconic cathedrals known for its rich history and stunning architecture. This particular artwork by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo held great reverence among worshippers and art enthusiasts alike before its unfortunate mutilation. As we gaze upon this engraving from Look and Learn / Illustrated Papers Collection, we are reminded not only of Europe's artistic heritage but also how precious these cultural treasures are to humanity. Despite being marred by theft and vandalism, "The Mutilated Murillo" continues to serve as a poignant reminder that even masterpieces can fall victim to greed or ignorance. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate this historical artifact while reflecting on the importance of preserving our shared artistic legacy for future generations.
