EDITORS COMMENTS
The Foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore: The Dream of the Patrician Juan" is a captivating and historically significant painting by the renowned Spanish Baroque artist, Bartolom Esteban Murillo. Created in 1682, this masterpiece is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Seville, Spain, and the enduring power of faith and devotion. The painting depicts the dream of Juan de la Cueva, a wealthy and depressed patrician, who is shown sleeping at the foot of the Virgin Mary, surrounded by angels and saints. In his dream, Juan is granted a vision of the foundation of the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore in Seville. The basilica, which is depicted in the background, is shown as a magnificent and ornate structure, bathed in the soft glow of heavenly light. Murillo's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer into the scene and immersing them in the dreamlike atmosphere. The painting is a masterclass in Baroque art, with its intricate details, rich colors, and dynamic compositions. The Foundation of Santa Maria Maggiore: The Dream of the Patrician Juan is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Seville and the art of Bartolom Esteban Murillo. The painting is currently housed in the AISA (Asociación de Amigos de los Museos de Sevilla), and is a reminder of the important role that art plays in preserving and celebrating our cultural heritage. This painting is not only a work of art but also a historical document, providing insights into the religious and social practices of Seville during the late 17th century. It is a reminder of the power of faith, the importance of dreams, and the enduring beauty of art.
