Dice Players (Street Boys) by Bartolome Esteban Murillo

Genre scenes occupy a large place in the work of Murillo. The artist has created a whole series of paintings, with good-natured humor depicting the life of the Seville rags. The main characters of these works are cute children in tatters, who with appetite eat fruit, play with animals, trade on the street, play games.

Unlike many of the works of Murillo on religious themes, his best genre paintings are absolutely not sentimental, they show the keen observation of the artist. And at the same time, these paintings are imbued with sharp lyricism and kindness. The action of most of them takes place in slums, but their space is as if flooded with light. Many paintings are decorated with masterfully painted still lifes; the picturesque beauty of fruits and flowers enhances the feeling of joy and fullness of life.
